Stu Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I'd say your gauge is crap.. Normal (hot) idle is around 20 psi.. and cold or high hot rpm will be around 60-80 psi.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Well i'd go back and ask 'them' then, whoever that may be. They're obviously the experts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I wasn't being nasty... I told you the normal operating figures. You can check a Haynes manual if you don't believe me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
