    Oil pressure

     



    I have a 350 crate engine and it has bout 5-6000 miles on it. When its cold it has 60 psi oil pressure at 1800 r's But after driving it for a while and it gets nice and warm it usually drops to about 35 psi obove idle, and bout 17 psi at idle. Now this is on a stock guage, so it could be the guage. Let me know what you think if this sounds correct or not. Thanks!

    sounds right for a small block chevy, they never broke any records with oil pressure.
