Oil pressure too high?

Discussion in 'Mech Tech' started by Benjie, Dec 10, 2016.

  1. Do any of you know what oil pressure the 2L type 4 engine should run at ??
     
  2. I get 4-5bar cold fast idle, 2-3 warm idle 3-4 crusing on a rebuild type 4 at a smidge over 100°c

  6. Bentley says pressure at 70° with SAE 30 oil at 2500 rpm should be 2.9 bar with a lower wear limit of 2 bar. These are the only official figures I can find. With a few more miles on my engine I'm in the lower end of acceptable. It cruises at about 2.5 this time of year but drops down to around 2 in summer when it gets hot. Hot idle is about 0.75.

    Our 1911 type 4 runs around 75 psi on cold start up
