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. |

CHT is not an issue with the 9eleben motor.....the heads neither crack nor drop valve seats....tho I did see a pic of a turbo head that had cracked...in half.
Oil pressure certainly is an issue. There should be around 1 bar for each thousand RPMs. Mine reads less that one bar at idle (hot) which is not unusual. Jeff is talking about looking at your sump screen to look for nasty bits of bearings there...this would not be a gud thing. Also, the oil line restrictors at the feed lines to the cam towers....which is now the standard fitting...which increases the oil pressure to the rest of the motor. |
