Oil Presure in a 50 Flathesd
What is a Safe Oil pressure on a 50 Flathead? Today I was going to go to a car show in Whitehall Montana and meet up with my ex-father in law who was showing his 62 Scout. I haven't really driven my truck other than around the block. So I got ready to go and thought I would drive the Cadillac, Then I thought maybe I would also go to Butte to Evil Knievel Day's so what the heck I will ride the Harley then thought I will be doing enough riding next week do to leaving for Sturgis next Thursday So what the heck I am going to drive the truck and put it to the 120 mile round trip so I backed the truck out of the garage and away I went. The truck ran flawlessly the whole way over and back. Averaged 55-60mph both ways. The oil stayed about 28lbs on a newly wired NOS gauge. I have never switched the sending unit. Does 28lbs sound normal or low?

I'd be happy with that. I'm sure some others will say different but like I said, I would be happy with that.

It ran flawlessly.
28 is plenty for a long journey at constant speed. More would be better, but 28 is nothing to worry about. Just my opinion. Mart. |
