[BaadAssGremlins] Re: 258 question

["Robert" <baddassgremlin@xxxxxxx>]

With the engine warm,,,, The low side should be at least 20 psi. at 
idle. High side (above idle) about 50 psi is OK. These pressures are 
figuring in original oil pump, engine with that amount of miles on it 
etc... not perfect pressure and range but it is good enough. New 
engine/oil pump etc.. your range should be 30-60 psi, low to high. Many 
factors affect oil pressure, like bypass spring possibly weak, rod and 
main bearing wear, lifters, oil pump gears, the weight of the oil that 
you are using.
