What oil pressure should I have please?
Hey all,
I was watching my gauges today and when my oil temp is at about 95 degrees C my oil pressure runs at about 50 psi (3.4 bar) at 2000 rpm..
When cold my oil pressure is up around the 70-80 psi mark
Does this sound right to anyone? I'm not sure what it should be running at
Thanks
Adrian

Thanks for the replies
especially as it appears that my head gasket is leaking (again) from the back of the block
