Post by Tojo »

Just wondering what everyone's oil pressure is and how many k's their 3B has done. What is good oil pressure for one of these motors?

mines done over 400 with rebuild in the last 50 and the oil pressure sits low at idle and picks with revs. it was worst with the turbo on. i have an oil cooler to fix this but i also run penrite oil that arounf 30/60w oil this helps and lasts a lot longer than other oils

i got an aftermarket oil pressure gauge and it used to read around 30psi but has dropped recently. Mine has about 375,000km. Was just wondering what everyone eles was and what was usual.
