Oil pressure question, How long should it take for oil pressure to register on the gauge? The engine is from a '74 MGB and has about 1500 miles after rebuild. It seems that the longer it sits, the lo

That is much too long, IMHO. Overnight mine is pretty-well instant, rising rapidly to 60psi. Only after standing for a week or more will it then take about 8-10 secs to rise. It is not unknown for th

The oil pressure on my '75 B, when good and warm, runs about 20-25 psi at fast idle and gets up around 50 cruising at 3-3500 rpm. Is this adequate, or sign of problem???????????/ Brian Lundgren 512.2

It is on the low side of the acceptable parameters. Depends on engine mileage and type of oil being used to be more specific on how adequate it is but I wouldn't consider it a problem. But then I'm s

The relief valve and spring are cheap and is not a difficult job to replace (well, except for pushing the cap back in against the spring pressure and getting it screwed back in). So that would be the

The relief valve can't really be blamed for the low pressure at idle. But I've seen worse -- 25 at cruise and 5 at idle, and that ran for over a year with a rally-loving college student driver. Heed

Are you sure? I would have thought that a big hole in the delivery pipe would have resulted in low oil pressure even with a good pump and bearings. Although how good the bearings would be after runni

If the relief valve is stuck open, the oil pressure will suffer greatly. I have had the plungers stick many times; this is a case for roadside repair, since running the engine like this is not wise.

On an MG engine, you DON'T WANT high oil pressure. You will eat the drive gears if you do. You may be alright at 75, although that is on the high side, but I have seen many racers jack it up to 80-85
