anything above 0 to quote Bruce Lancaster. 50 hot is interesting. 5-10 hot is not out of normal and good.

Flatheads are not a high pressure oiling system. model A four bangers where just a oil delivery system.

If it's stockish... All that high pressure does nothing. Well it washes bearings. Relax it's all good.
