Oil pressure
Moderator: Micka
Rover motors at least the early model ones were high volume low pressure when it came to oil. Do a Google search and you will find heaps of info if they are tired they may have 0-10 psi at idle when hot and 30-40 when running at 2500 rpm. If they are healthy they usually have 15-20psi at idle when hot and 40-50 at 2500 rpm. Cold who knows they may get to 60psi. This applies to the 3.5 & early 3.9s the later 4.0-4.6 have a different oil pump and to my knowledge they have higher pressure as a result.
What oil are you using on the earlier motors it should be 20-50
Hope this helps
