Bill, You didn't tell us what kind of oil you're running, but it sounds pretty good. The rule of thumb is that you should have at least 10 psi for every 1000 RPM. For example, you should have over 30 psi at 3000 RPM. Again, your oil weight will have an impact on those numbers. I run 20W50 and pass that "test." -Karl Karl and Kristina Bloss, Trexlertown, PA '87 Westfalia Weekender "Beverley" - 189K miles VW Mechanic list: http://www.enter.net/~bloss/vw/vwshops PA/NJ Vanagon owner's mailing list: http://www.onelist.com/subscribe/pavanagon |
