To much oil pressure?
Hi Guys, my rebuilt 8ba with motor city flathead oil pump system. Runs great no oil leaks.
At 3500 rpm is showing 70 pounds oil pressure, at 25 at hot idle. I see where most guys are trying to get more oil pressure . Is there a problem with these numbers? |

Re: To much oil pressure?
70 lbs seems like pretty high oil pressure for a flathead.

Re: To much oil pressure?
