I have a 2258 -4. My engine is a fairly fresh rebuild. I have been keeping a very close eye on my oil pressure because I had a burst oil pressure line and had to drive the car at 0 pressure for about one minute. My oil pressure is the same as before the incident. When the oil temp is around the max for my engine (210), I have an oil pressure that is essentially equal to the rpm's (divided by 100- so rpm 1000 would be oil pressure of 10).
I have a schadek 26mm oil pump. I use fresh brad penn 20/50 oil. Do my oil temps sound reasonable? If they are low, how can I increase oil pressure? |

Everybody throws around 10 psig per 1000 rpm. By that you are golden.
210 oil temp is where it works the best. Oil pressure is a function of the clearances that were built into the engine as far as I am concerned. When I built racing engines, they were built with clearances like a 300,000 mile engine ... 8500 rpm gave 55 psig at 220 - 230 oil temps. Other experts can chime in with their numbers. |
