Re: Terry / Everyone - Urgent-Temp and oil pressure questions?

[Rick White]

Kris, I pulled the coil lead off and turned her over till I killed the battery that was on charge, hopefully that woulda oiled up the cam. Oil filter and oil will be on Sunday, this will be the first chance I get to do it. Hopefully all the oil would of moved around enough to have the gunk fall when I drop the oil out by then. 165-175 Farenheight, on a cool night seems alright then. I wasn't watching the oil pressure guage like a hawk this morning so it might of gone up to 54-49.7PSI. I don't know, I will keep a eye on it on the way to TAFE today. So all up she seems to be running fine by the guages I guess, will be good to get the old AVGAS out of the tank and fill her up with fresh stuff.   Thanks for the info.   Very much appreciated.   Later.

Hi Rick,         Sorry to hear about the wagon!  My manual says 180F (thermastat opening), with the oil pressure, it only has PSI or Kg/cm2 ;                Idle =  14.2 - 17.1psi (1 - 1.2kg/cm2)                Running = 54 - 59.7 psi (3.8 - 4.2 kg/cm2) Sorry they are not in Kpa, i don`t know the conversion. I would change the oil and filter (if you haven`t allready) as it may have a bit of water from condensation and hopefully you oiled up the cam etc. as it would`ve been pretty dry.   Good luck,             Kris. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rick White To: Terry Rudd ; OZDAT Sent: Friday, November 22, 2002 8:49 AM Subject: Terry / Everyone - Urgent-Temp and oil pressure questions? Hi there guys and girls, Due to some sad circumstances my wagon is off the road, so I finally had to pull my finger out and get the SSS 510 of mine running again. So I can keep on going to TAFE till I sort out the wagon.   I will update you all on what has happened to the wagon as soon as I work out what happened, I do not know myself at the moment.   Anyhow the SSS hasn't been running for over two years, maybee three years ? she had a noisy water pump.   I bolted in the water pump at 1am this morning and wow she started first time, my question is what temperature in farenheight should she be running at normal temperature, 165 to 175 Farenheight???   And what oil pressure should she be running 45 Kpa ??   I don't want to damage her, hense the questions.   Thanks in advance guys.   Rick White. --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
