[DeTomaso] DeTomaso Digest, Vol 58, Issue 7 Oil pressure

[RCBSONS1 at aol.com]

In all the talk about high volume pumps and high 
oil pressure I wanted to chime in on some of my
thinking.... an old motor has passages clogged up
including tubing on a real gauge that can actually
give you a false reading "higher"
 
my old cleveland read 70 to 80psi on a tired motor
 
My windsor has 60psi almost all the time
this is a modified motor but not really full race
but still a little edgey for the street
that is all it needs
 
My 755hp Pontiac has an adjustable external
pump and the engine builder states 60 psi is enough
This guy builds 735inch motors from 1100-1600 hp
 
These are high volume pumps but not high pressure
 
My last pontiac motor had 90-105 psi as the idiot
builder modified the pump spring... motor never was
right... blew the rear main seal and many other problems
