When its cold the pressure heads towards 100psi fairly easily before 3500rpm - once its totally warm it won't go past 55-60psi under WOT 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82178-to-oil-pump-gears-or-not-to-oil-pump-gearsthat-is-the-question/page/5/#findComment-1303420 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really just not worth the risk for suck small outlay!

Mine will hit 100psi cold no worries and yeah it takes a while to drop pressure after a cold start.
