Off to look at a Tam

[trigger128]

Hi,
I’m off to look at a Tamora this weekend and would like to know what oil pressures to look for at what revs.
Also any other advice is more then welcome.
Thank you.

Which one?

[RedSpike66]

Idle, when hot, 10-14 psi in my experience. (3.6 T350 Power rebuild)
Driving, add 12-14 psi per 1000 rpm, up to about 50-60 psi iirc.

My speed six Cerbera 30k miles 45-50 oil pressure on cold start up and about the same when running and up to temperature at motorway speeds (80mph= 45 oil pressure). When up to temperature and ticking over oil pressure is about 15ish(i:e 900rpm)

Car just serviced and given a clean bill of health.

God luck with the viewing

Oil pressure sensors are a bit of a weak point on the S 6.

Hot oil, if ticking over as it should, at about 900 rpm, expect 15-20 psi.

Hot at 3500 rpm, expect 45-48 psi.

Depends on the oil too, if it's using a something 40 oil, I would expect hot pressures to be less than a something 50 oil.

The figures I have quoted are for 15-50 oil and have varied very little in the 5 S6 engined cars (t-cars) we have owned.

thank you chaps.
