Full Version: Questions: Redline, oil pres, oil temp
Looking for a little consensus on racing specs for Redline, oil pressure, & oil temp. 914/4. Built 2.0 liter, heavy valve springs, mild cam. (vintage racing).
I would say
Redline 6000RPM (but without knowing more this is just a guess)
Oil Pressure 10psi minimum at idle with ~10 psi per 1000RPM
Oil temp, I feel more comfortable when it is below 230 but the more important thing is the head temp, oil is a much lesser concern.

RPM is not an issue with regards to oil. 10,000 RPM is still not tooo high for Red line. Oil pressure is an issue of the motor Low pressure indicates out of tolerance bearings. Temp? the hotter you get it the more often you need to change it.
