For the 2.7 /6 I am running, what ranges are acceptable for oil P, T and CHT?
What I am seeing now with it idling in the garage today is: CHT - 300F (I could get it to 350 if I tried) Oil P - 20-30 psi when revving, 0 when warm and idling, but the idiot light is not on (?) Oil T - I managed to get it up to 210F in the garage while revving it and trying to time it, but usually it was at 180F (which I understand as being the normal). My main concern is the oil P. I reads 0 now whenthe car warms up. I did check the oil level and it is good and the oil was definetly hot. |

Mike, I read somewhere in either Excellence or Pano that 10psi/1000RPM is the Porsche expectation. I have seen as high as 250temp with 4000RPM on a 111 degree day. This leads me to believe that I am just a little lean just off the idle jets, as I stay under 200 when I stay under 3500 RPM cruising the backroads. Oh, and I am also being pushed by a 2.7-6 77 CIS - S motor with 40IDA Webers. I have no cylinder head temperature gauge and I am afraid to think what they might be. In fact the two upper covers that Jim Chambers included with the car appear to be warped which may indicate why Jeff Hines didn't use them. Could your idiot light be burned out? I wonder how well calibrated that gauge is? Rob |
