Mine is about 28/30 PSI idling when warm and about 55 PSI on starting from cold. Since it's service it reaches 60/65 PSI when doing a constant 70mph on a motorway!!!

Aye, mine can go as low as 10 psi at idle if I've been pushing. Asked our local specialists and he said not to worry - pressure sender inaccurate at low revs.

I had a new pressure sensor fitted recently as the old one was leaking slightly. The max/min range went from 48/14 to 69/9 with no other changes.....

I was told that it should read similar to the revs. If ya doing 3500 revs it will be around 35psi. This is with a fully rebuilt engine and a new sensor.It runs around 15psi on tickover. My last engine ran around 7-8psi on tickover and did'nt take long to knacker up.
