Re: Time for a new oil pressure thread

Oil pressure is about where it should be for a well used sbc.

Tx Firefighter explained it well oil pressure is developed from the tolerances of the crank and especially the cam bearings. The more they are worn the lower the oil pressure.

IMO 25psi is just fine at idle.

Use better high mileage oil with some wear additives and turn up the stereo.
