Re: Please help! SMOKE out the exhaust!

Put on a gauge. Low don't mean Jack Schitt unless you put a # to it. as long as the pressure is alway's more or equal to it's counterapart in rpm's then you will be fine...

I.E. Idle at 500 rpm's you need 5 psi or higher to keep the bearings from rubbing metal to metal...

Good oil pressure ='s 10 PSI per 1,000 Rpms.
