well my oil pressure has been kind of funky after i swapped in my new motor, and im not sure what the average reading is. my idle seems to be just under 200 kilopascals, and is around 300-400 while driving. usually 300 though. im not a metric guy, and am used to PSI. Can anyone tell me what the oil pressure should be at; at idle, 2k,3k? thanks!

 

according to my TI-83 plus it says 200kpa = 29 psi and 300 kpa = 44 psi

 

alright, well im assuming this is an average reading then? im just unsure, because it seemed to be reading alot higher before.

 

whats the engine?

 

its a gm performance crate 350, with a TPI setup on it. ps, its the old style (75-86) block.

 

according to the 1992 GM Service Manual V8 should have a minimum of 6 psi or 41 KPA

 

haha, well i dont know what to think lol. im pretty sure im safe though. was the 1992 manual for a v6 or a v8?

 

lol sadly v8, all engines.

 

haha awesome!! thanks alot. now i do feel alot better about it. i went from an LO3 to a MUCH more powerful crate motor, so i thought the oil pressure would be different. but im usually running about 300 kp, so its all good. thanks again.
