what kind of psi is everyone seeing at 5-6k rpms? i'm seeing 55 hot. i had water in my oil for a while so i'm just making sure everythings ok. also it's 50 by 2k rpms, is it normal to only go up 5 more up to redline? thanks

You have plenty of oil pressure for a 100K+ mile motor.

In that case you'd better rebuild it. [Wink]

From my limited experience I have found that 10 psi per 1000 rpms will do okay. I don't really worry about the oil pressure unless it's abnormally low or fluctuating. Some loss of oil pressure is normal in higher mileage engines.
