1 fast z Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 THats pretty high, your loosing a fair amount of HP with that sort of pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitsumark Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 According to my Autometer,,my 82ZXT at hot idle is 15-20psi..Shoots up to about 50psi in gear... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 thats normal for that any L engine mine is a 76 L28 Carb and runs 15ish and 50ish in gears too. so your cool. and the warmer mine gets it drops that is becuase of the cam/crank bearings are jsut worn out. typical of any older engine. i would know i see it all the time in deisels.

Slow_Old_Car Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 i barely register at idle on a autometer, and have about 25ish psi by 3krpm on a 7:1 turbo motor with a turbo pump. no shims, no springs, no porting. always has bugged me a bit... has me thinking about a oil cooler, though i've seen more noteable members of the forum mention that the range i'm in is fairly common and fine. 30w oil btw.
