[Tigers] Oil Pressure

[Dave Munroe]

Thanks Tony;

Your words prove accurate.

After I received your post, I got off my lazy butt and researched this topic 
and found some references in my book collection that concurs with your 
opinion.
It is clear that 40 to 50 psi is good pressure for our engines. Bill Carroll 
has a comprehensive Specification section in his book and lists normal 
pressure (hot) to be  35/55 psi @ 2000 rpm. Mike Taylor's Book has a 
reference to the oil pressure normal being 55 psi hot, but no specified rpm. 
Nothing in the BON on oil pressure specs that I could find, but then it was 
late...

SBF references on the web are surprisingly scarce , but those you can find 
put good pressure squarely in the 40 to 50 range.

60 psi and up seems to be uncharacteristically high for a "normal" street 
SBF engine, and there does not appear to be a lot of info on how to modify 
an engine to produce these high pressures.

My mind is at ease!

Thanks for your help and insight Tom. I will  do my research in advance next 
time!
