What should the oil press. be on a healthy 302(stock bottom end)? Haynes manual says 40-65# .What do you guys without stock guages seeing?
I'm gonna check mine with one of those guage mechanics use under the hood just to see what mine is.

I GOT 54# @ 2000 RPM :D :D

Motor has 151,000 mi. on it so main bearings must be in good shape, right? Which means i should'nt need my crank turned if i rebuild soon, is that right?
That'll save me $100!
