Oil pressure
 

Has anyone fitted an oil pressure gauge to this engine and what pressures did you get?
Where did you tap it in as the pressure switch position is well nigh inacessible.
I've just fitted a digital one to mine by drilling and tapping the oil filter housing and am getting 90psi cold dropping to 75psi at 2000rpm hot and 28 on tickover which to me seems reasonable with 186k on the clock.
What do others think?
Haynes just say minimum 2 bar at 2000revs.

If you have 28PSI at tick over when Haynes is expecting very similar levels at 2000 RPM I wouldn't be worrying to be honest - Mike

Thanks Mike, it's just that the pressures seem high. I did check the gauge I'm using against another and the readings were similar.
Looks like I've got a good engine.
