Wow, You've got some really high oil pressures. I hope those values were measured when cold.
Years back I was trying to determine the same thing. I bought an oil pump from Techtonics and was told that generally speaking, oil pressure should roughly be 10 lbs for every 1000 rpms when warm. Of course that varies on many conditions and situations. When its cold the pressures are much higher and when its hot, the pressures are much lower. The generalization has been a fairly close estimate of appropriate operating oil pressures. The VDO gauge always sparks my attention when the oil pressures drop below 10 lbs at 1000 rpms. -Les On 10/4/11 1:34 PM, "Chad Rebuck" <[email protected]> wrote: >so what is considered normal at 2000 rpm for oil pressure on a warmed up >engine? > >70, 80, 100 psi? > >What pressure does the relief in the oil pump open? > >The bentley only talks about minimum oil pressure of 29 psi at 2000 >rpm when warm. > >I've seen oil pressure above 100 psi cold and at least 70 when warm >according to my memory. >_______________________________________________ >a2-16v-list mailing list >[email protected] >http://mail.a2-16v.com/mailman/listinfo/a2-16v-list _______________________________________________ a2-16v-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.a2-16v.com/mailman/listinfo/a2-16v-list
