hi guys, i know it was recently discussed on someone else's thread this year but didn't want to hi-jack his thread, so i started my own. i rebuilt 3 years ago , i don't recall the bearing clearances but were in specs of the plastic gage i used vs manual, i know that doesn't help. in hindsight i should have written down the results. The engine been around these numbers since i dropped in the motor 2 seasons ago. I'm not sure if I'm just staring at my oil pressure gauge too much instead of the speedo .. i may be fine but wanted to check with the group
any reason to be concerned with these numbers? i suppose i could swap with a stock meling ...
autometer , electric gauge
440 / 727
meling high volume pump & 7 qt pan.
brad penn 10w40
start up / cold idle in park 80 psi
hot numbers
idle in park 45~50
idle in drive 35~40
cruise @ 60 mph (2800 rpm) 80-85 psi
cruise @ 40 mph 70-75 psi
@ WOT i can see it hit 90
thoughts appreciated.
