This is all good stuff ! my question is , after you hand crank for oil
pressure , and start up ,how much oil pressure should
you have at idle and , say 3000 rpm when warned up . I was told that if you
use 20/50 racing oil , that meant when the oil is
cold it is 50 wt. and when it is hot it is 20 wt. I was also told by a
very reliable tr race engine builder that the tr-4 engine should use
straight 50 wt. racing oil or 40 wt. racing oil .
I always used 20/50 in my cosworth fords bdd,s . never had any oil
problems or pressure problems . anyone have any thoughts on tr-4 oil
pressures and oil wts . also what kind of oil pressure should you have in a
race , coming down the front straight .
