#122551 hey guys, so i just have a quick question about oil pressure and what's correct for these engines, i just installed my oil pressure gauge last night after i got my sandwich plate and here is what i get:

cold: 80psi @ idle, ~100psi @ 3k, never go past 4k when cold
warm: 15-20psi idle, 60psi @ 3k, 80psi over 4.5k..

just wanted to make sure it's in spec, i'm going to be building the bottom and maybe porting the oil pump....

thanks for the help, if there is already an oil pressure thread, delete this one but i searched :thumb:

#122581 for a D16Z6:

Oil Pressure at 80 degrees Celsius
idle - 10kPa = 10psi minimum
3000rpms - 350kPa = 50 psi minimum
