Quick question - what should the oil pressure be at certain revs?
Say at 900rpm, mine's between 21-25psi
Although at higher rpm, ie 5500rpm it's running in the late 30's, as in 39psi
Does this sound correct, or should it be 47-48psi at higher revs?
Reason I ask is that I'm sure I say an oil light flicker on Saturday, but I've not seen it since - could be engine poping paranoya!

Interesting reading 
I've just checked mine again, it doesn't go over 40psi, or drop below 20psi. 2000rpm is 35psi where is sort of stays as you increase the revs. It had a rebuild in April BTW.
Red oil light has not come on at all, in 1st, 2nd, 3rd gears, and it's not using any oil
It's due a service in a couple of weeks, I'll pootle down there to check it out
