oil pressure

[cossiemetro]

whats the normal oil pressure on start up and running etc
and what should the water temp stay at on a run and tickover ???

[c3ber]

Each cerbera can have slight different pressures due wear on rings, springs bore and type of oil used. But mine is running at 60plus when driving, 45 on idle, after a good run the idle pressure drops to 40. Water temp tends to be around 92 at idle and 75 on a good run.

Mine is 80psi at cold start, 60-70psi under load when hot and 40psi idle when hot.
Water temp is 70-75 when moving (quickly ) cycles between 90-95 when idling.

Mines bang on 60 when warm and under load. Its 70 when cold/start up.

60-65 psi cold start,
55-60 psi under load when warm
35-40 psi hot idle

Water temp measurement is a bloody joke atm, as the ECU reads 45 when the guage is reading 85 on a run, and when stopped the ECU slooowly creeps up to abount 75 max but the guage is banging off the stop at 110+++++ and as the fans want to believe the ECU they resolutely stay off....

Needless to say, the car is laid up during May while I replace the entire cooling system.
