oil pressure

skiwesser · 05-09-2004, 01:06 PM

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.

RULE OF THUMB IS 10PSI FOR EVERY 1,000 RPM'S

I GOT 54# @ 2000 RPM

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!
