Typical Oil Pressure?

BDHE · #1 (**permalink**) 09-23-2007, 03:28 PM

Greetings Everyone;

Two Questions:

-What's typical oil pressure for a 460 (or 460 that's stroked)?

-What, if anything (other than RPM, of course), can cause your oil pressure to go up?

Go to the search option and search oil pressure for starters, you will find a lot of information there.

Heavier oil or a restriction of some kind in an oil passage. Maybe a bad pressure sender or guage?

I am runnig the 514. With the oil hot, it is 20psi at idle ( 1050rpm's) and 45 t0 50 cruising. Before I had the engine rebuilt, I had a high volume oil pump. I tossed it and put in a regular one. I am running Kendall GT1 10W40.

Lineslinger -- I didn't know my starter was supposed to have oil pressure!

Just kidding, thanks for the post.
