Re: [T3] oil temp (and pressure)


<x-charset iso-8859-1>I was going to post this when things calmed a bit but Shad has probably
already delt with this so:

With the new Notch engine the hot oil pressure is about 5lbs lower than it
should be...
well, when compared with a stock engine.  Im running full flow on the Notch
and I was told by a mechanic locally here that there have been issues with
pressure drops over the Fram oil filters.

Are fram too restrictive?  is there a better brand to use that is less?
what should I expect in pressure reduction?

Im running 32PSI at 3400RPM, not a problem now but when the engine has many
miles on it Im concerned with not having enough.

Lastly... why is there an issue with oil filter pressure problems with full
flow?  I know Jim uses the PH8A with no problem but why would anyone think
there is a problem with our setup that would provide more pressure than
other cars?

Thanks,

Keith
