OK guys and gals, how much oil pressure is too much?
I rebuilt my twin turbo motor and originally it had about 60-70 pounds at WOT. After the rebuild with a new block I now have about 100 PSI at WOT and about 80 PSI at lower RPM's using standard 10/40 oil.
After the break-in I went to synthetic (Mobile 1 10/30) it dropped about 5 pounds at WOT and about 15 pounds a lower RPM's.
I've heard stories of bearing wash out because of to much oil pressure. Any of it true?
I know drag motor guys have told me that it's OK. But they run a motor for about 10 seconds. I run all day long. Any thoughts?
