Re: Oil pressure

[Steve Chervinsky <63hemipolara@xxxxxxxxx>]

Mike Buckel of the Ramchargers also told me that it is better to have high VOLUME than high pressure. You want to make sure that lots of oil is getting to the areas required rather than a little oil at a lot of pressure.

 

What's funny with that is when you see videos of the engiine builds at Moshers he prides himself on high oil pressure. I know at cold start up my hemi will be at 95lbs, at warm idle (650rpm) it is at 30lbs, when I jump on it it will shoot up and stay at 75lbs. Cruising at 3000rpm it is between 65-75psi.
