Oil Pressure for Rover V8 engines

[Henry Harris]

There are some myths about the oil pressure for this engine. I recall one that suggests as long as the oil pressure light is working not on when the engine is running then that is sufficient. I am finding out that this myth is not consistent with the original specification. Also, over the life of the engine there have been pressure issues and the oil pump was redesigned and repositioned.

I have a better understanding now following some research. Does anyone have relevant information?
