oil pressure at idle

[JimP]

Hi there, I'm looking to buy another marauder to replace the one that I sold to a member here, this one has a pro-charger supercharger to top off a very long list of mods.

What should the oil pressure be at idle while in gear? It has mechanical gauges and I'm seeing between 12-14 psi when hot, it rises 10 psi for every 1,000 rpm's. I'm used to seeing these oil pressures in my Grand National but figured I would ask.



Thank You!

Around 15 PSI "hot" is perfectly acceptable (mine is 25 PSI but NEW ENGINE here!!) and you know 10 PSI per 1000 RPM's is pretty much an industry standard for good "Oil Pressure"......GO FOR IT!!:beer:

Yeah sounds perfectly normal

OK thanks guys, if I pull the trigger you'll know by Thursday, just doing my homework.

Mine at 80k + miles has 25 PSI at idle hot.
