"Russ, I have told her per specs car idles at 10 psi, up to 30 to 35 psi when pressure relief valve kicks in, and light comes on below 7 psi. I am assuming they have a shop manual also. "
"Does the engine shop know the oil pressure is low at idle? Average at idle is 10 PSI."
"Thanks, Jason!"
"Just to note, Daniela is 1st up on my Wait List for a front cover but I am out. I told Daniela to make sure the pressure relief valve in the oil pump cover is not sticking open. Whenever, oil pressure suddenly drops after an engine is rebuild,…"
