Re: Standard 8 '49 - oil pressure

Clipper47,
I forgot to say that I already did fit the "T-connector" and mounted a real, and much more accurate pressure gauge.
I have heard about making the relief spring in the pump a little "harder" by placing a washer, but I simply have not succeeded to locate where to find the spring.

The oil pressure is more or less the same from cold to hot, and it drops very little when the motor is at idle RPM.

I am using 10W-30 oil.


best regards
Henrik
