Not sure but 20-22 psi sounds fine to me.

Most factory EFI holden 308/304s will idle at about 8-10psi Its common for the oil light to come on as its set at 6psi.

what's the oil pressure cutout switch set to then? When my HJ47's been sitting too long it takes a couple of starts because the oil pressure takes so long to register - so it kills the motor due to lack of oil pressure

2l

Post by Paul Smith »

Leighroy1984 my 2l motor runs about 20 to 24 psi at idle.
I have a speco gauge connected all the time and never goes below 20.
