Oil Pressure?

Posted by LynnFauth On 2013/1/5 9:00:27

As Laughlin attendees know, my 53 Clipper Dlx had some electrical and oil light gremlins. I got her home safely, but the oil light still goes on intermittently. Using a mechanical gauge, I got the following readings:

idle at start: 26 psi
idle when warm: 27-28 psi
oil light is on at idle

oil pressure when revved up: 34-38 psi

Is this low? Should I be concerned? Is a rebuild of oil pump recommended.

I'm running Wolfshead 15-40 synthetic blend.

Thanks
