Getting ready to fire up my rebuilt t4 in my bus, went through the process of cranking to build oil pressure and I am seeing about 5 psi . . . enough to turn the oil light off. Has anyone ever put a gauge on their engine during initial cranking to see what they get? Curious about the numbers.
Thanks, Chris |

We usually see 20-30 PSI but thats according to many variables.. Are you using Brad Penn Break in oil??
Do you have the spark plugs pulled?? If not the engine won't spin faster than 200 RPM and that'll really hurt the initial oil pressure |
