What is good oil pressure?
Im only after rebuilding my 4age, it got
all new ACL bearings bottom end
TRD HeadGasket
Toda cams
Vernier adjustable pulleys
Lightweight flywheel

As far as I remember on my standard gauge the cam never moved much from 3/4 oil pressure at all times.

Now after the rebuild it is sitting at just over half way at idle and always above 3/4 when being drive sometimes even close to the H mark.

Is the low pressure at idle normal, im just worried as im not used to it!
Thanks

About half idleling is perfect. More than 3/4 sounds like you have a pressure valve that doesn't open... Are you running stock oil cooler setup?

Sarcasme is just one of the things I offer Wink

gauges and sensors can be faulty too, and not accurate!
