got a 1430. And just getting it going at the moment, will be another week til the new carbs on (45DCOE) but when i have started the engine the oil pressure just climbs and climbs, will start slowing down before 80ish but ive never ran it long enough to let it come back down... Guy i was talking to sayes his goes up to 110 before coming down whats everyone else experiencing?

Cheers! may the force be with you

may 4th was ages ago

80 ish what?

80lb or Psi?

My Smith gauge only read to 100lb so 80lb is excessive. If it's psi then 60 is more what you want for warm. When the engine is cold the pressure is always high.

[alexcrosse]

i no. but i was asking what pressure yours goes up to when you START the engine.

thought id use these as bumps makes sence. OIL PEOPLE! when you turn your key, what goes your oil pressure peak at

[Big_Adam]

i no. but i was asking what pressure yours goes up to when you START the engine.

So you mean the cold pressure, right?

If so then mine start at 60lb then drops to 40lb at warm.

[alexcrosse]

i see, cheers for that mate. What are tim's guages measured in? mini's in garage, and its late n cold.

[Sprocket]

110psi is excessive. 80 psi peak is as much as you need

[alexcrosse]

How much is yours peaking at though?

Ah, Smiths gauges for me. Very very old school all in pounds. For tippy top peak oil pressure then it's 80lb. But thats as high as it ever goes like downhill doing 6000rpm.
