Title: Oil Pressure 3.5EFI V8
Post by: Lewis.J.P_1987 on May 06, 2009, 10:50:20: What kind of oil pressure should I be looking at for my RRC, just fitted an internal oil pressure gauge and was wondering what it should be :huh:

Any good?

Post by: Bowie on May 07, 2009, 09:55:03: Quite a high idle TBH, any reason for this?

Post by: Lewis.J.P_1987 on May 07, 2009, 10:21:07: If I am in park it sits at 900rpm. If im in drive with the brakes on its sits a lot lower. Its always been like it.

Post by: Range Rover Blues on May 07, 2009, 18:50:44: V8s do run with quite low oil presure, limited partly by the drive gear on the dizzy.

What model gauge did you use and where did you plumb it in? any chance of some pics as I was wondering about fitting such an item as I never did like trusting a simple on/off warnig light!!

Cheers
