virgin 428...oil pressure is 50 during cranking...
By Katauskas - 04/24/2001 7:14:09 PM; IP 24.4.253.165
Have not started my virgin 428 yet. I cranked the engine over about 5 minutes ago without the plugs to pre-lube. After about 5 seconds I saw oil coming from the rocker arms. Done. I also noticed from the oil pressure gauge (mechanincal) that the oil pressure was 50 lbs.
I have a melling hv pump. I checked ALL bearing clearances with plasti-gauge during assembly.
The 50 lb pressure during crank-over seems a little high to me.
Any thoughts?
