few questions on t350

[aubrey9160]

been out looking at t350 today and ive got a couple off questions.
What oil pressures should they have at tickover.
Its showing a code fault for the clock is this a simple thing to put right or does it lead onto other problems
its a 2004 model. Sorry for the questions but i know very little about the speed six engines or the codes on the dash.
Cheers in advance Aub

I found the following discussion useful when I was buying mine:

Oil pressure varies with grade, actual engine temp/speed and the condtion/calibration of the sensor. As a guide fully warmed up (oil at 70 deg+) using 5-40wt oil @ 950 rpm I see 12-15psi, cold on start up 55-60 psi and a running pressure of 45-50psi on the move.

The battery code fault (149?) is not too hard to fix, I believe there is a CR2032 type coin battery on the clock pack that needs changing that would require removal of the clocks, which in itself is not hard or too time consuming.

Thanks Shep that has put my mind at rest,its pretty much doing what yours is at that.
Are they pretty lumpy at tickover when first started up.
Sorry for the questions but im used to 4.5 AJP engine not a S6.

Yes, after a few mins it should be fine. Needs to be fully warmed up to sound at its best
