RE: 390 oil pressure |
By Tim Hartford - 10/16/2003 9:07:02 PM; IP 204.60.226.72 |
Finally got my t-bird back from the mechanic. I did have him install a high-volume oil pump. The change in oil pressure is dramatic. I'm getting about 60psi at idle (measured by a seperate guage). Prior to installing the high volume pump, I had decent pressure until the engine got fully warmed up, then it would drop to almost nothing, and would not increase with higher rpms. Never any lifter noise, but still worisome considering the cost of the rebuild! I have only driven the car for one 50 mile trip since the high volume pump was installed, but during that drive, the pressure never dropped, and did increase with higher revs, ie on the freeway. If things remain this way, I will be very, very happy. |
