m35a2 white engine

[armyrino]

Just curious. My 1971 m35a2"s oil pressure runs around 30psi while above 1000 rpm and can drop as low as 10-15psi at idol. I've built many engines and I know for some this is within spec. Any input would be great is this normal for the engines?

Have you put a mechanical gauge in the sending unit port(on the side of the block at the rear, above the starter) to verify the numbers?


It sounds ok to me.

Normal, sometimes...

Acceptable, yes.

Mechanical gauge I added where gimpyrobb said reads about 10-15 percent higher. I think in a Deuce anything above zero is okay.

Its good, only time you need to worry is if its ZERO and knocking like a tax collector on tax day !
