Basically, you add more and more oil until you get the 6-8 psi while idling, right? Would letting the car run for a few minutes and letting the oil get through everything, checking oil pressure, and then adding if neccessary be the right way to do this? Kinda like a trial and error thing, until you got enough? |

Honduh oil pressure switch it ~ 5 psi. Your engine should idle more like 15 psi.
T0DA, get your ass to Asheville Hose on Swannanoa River Rd and buy all your specialty ---- there for cheaper than McMaster. Better yet, check PMs, I have part of Tues and all of Thurs off every week and live a mile from there. Call me when you are ready and I'll show you the bottom dollar route that compromises no quality, and you get braided steel bling bling too. |

I'll call you when the time is right. I might go ahead and start shopping now, IDK. But I'll give you a ring first

Re: Everything you need to know about oil lines.
This helped me out a lot.
and the valve to reduce oil pressure do you just cut the line and stick a valve with smaller diameter for oil to flow pretty much or what?? |
Re: Everything you need to know about oil lines.
ok would it be possible for someone to sum up the best setup for a honda considering most honda engines run about the same oil pressure. as far as long sizes and restricters
