Boylo99 Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 what kind of oil pressure reading are people getting warm idle mine is about 1 bar driving about 3 bar Quote
RobSR Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 1 bar on idle is a tad low, ideally it’s 1.5 bar. Loose rule of thumb is then 10psi (0.6bar) gain per 1000 rpm. Quote
Boylo99 Posted September 9, 2019 Author Posted September 9, 2019 its always sat about this on idle any way of getting the pressure up? was thinking of using a different oil currently running fuchs race oil 5w40 Quote
RobSR Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Could be a lot of things, worn pump, worn bearings, oil type etc. How many miles are on the engine? May be worth refreshing now before it fails and causes a lot more damage. Quote
Boylo99 Posted September 9, 2019 Author Posted September 9, 2019 was rebuilt about 5 k ago new pump new bearings might try some fuchs 10w50 and see if it makes a difference Quote
clubman s Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 mines is stock used from japan, warm idle is reading 25psi, at 2000rpm+ is 60psi measured with a mechanical gauge Quote
