Got it.................

more or less

Oil pressure is now 60 PSI cold at idle. 70 PSI cold above 3000rpm. Its a little bit less and i will go up to 80.


Last question:

What oil do you use? Mine is 5W30 synthetic. Enginebuilders here in Germany and in the U.K. told me to run 20W50 mineral oil because it would "stick" better on the moving parts???


Anybody arround using the same oil as i do in a cleveland?

I need to know this because if not I have to change the oil and checking the pressure again before any further adjustment.

Maybe with that oil the pessure is higher a bit and closer to 80.


But for today its enough we are going to Italy now spending some days with old friends.

Trularin:

What size is the thread beside the mech. fuel pump, is it 1/4"?? I never used that port it's blocked.

I will install the bypass line from front to rear when I'm back from vacation. I know that the rear one is 1/4".


Thanks,

Uwe
