Canadians....What does ur oil pressure run at when the car is hot and at idle
Hey

I have a 1985 IROC Z Camaro with the 305 TPI. I am just wondering what ur guys oil pressure runs at when the car is at idle when the engine is hot/warmed up.

Mine sits at about 275-300 kPa when idling and hot. But my engine is freshly rebuilt. Still before it didnt drop past 225-250 kPa
