[FlyRotary] Re: Oil pressure
Anyone out
there have an opinion if 125 psi is to high for the oil
pressure ???
Hi
Ken, I don't know for sure, but I'd bet the race boys run
that much. We just don't need it at our rpms though.
I just installed a new engine and all my other ones ran at
about 80
to 90 psi and this one is 125, I don't know why as all the
plumbing
is the same.
Did
you re-use your old pressure regulator in the rear housing, or is it
one you haven't used before? The REW regulators are quite a bit
higher pressure than the old 2nd gen, and they make some aftermarket
versions that are even higher I think. If all the plumbing is
the same, I just can't see how the pressure would be that much higher
unless your regulator is causing it.
Cheers,
Rusty
(.53 ips, but soon to fall)
The rear regulator is blocked off
and I have an external regulator, all which is the same as before and
have run for several hundred hrs.
Now I will see how I can make the
external regulator flow more oil, its nice to have the regulator right
there to work on and to adjust.
Also note that I have two stock oil
cooler running parallel and I have a valve to shut one down for cold
weather and if I shut one down the oil pressure will drop to 90 psi
even though the oil temp goes up, this is do to more back pressure and
more restriction before it gets to the engine and
regulator.
