Mine shows 75 psi at cold idle, same at higher rpm. After it's good
and warmed up it drops to 50 at idle, 60 over 1500 rpm. I use Castrol
20-50 and the engine has ~10,000 miles on it after a major rebuild.
Gee, I'm not driving it much, am I? It's been 2 + years since the
rebuild.
Anyway, I suppose the figures you quote from the manual are the lowest
acceptable pressures.
