Re: oil press to low d16y8
well the oil light is USELESS. It only comes on when it senses less than 5 PSI of oil, at which point, your motor becomes a big paperweight. So if you ever see that light come on and you're raping it, it basically says your motor has left the building...
In any case, what assumption did you have that lead you to believing you had low oil pressure? No vtec or something? Also have you changed anything aside from the oil pump?

b/c a friend told me he read the press has to be a 30 psi in ralenty and 75 psi at 3k rpm, and i placed a water cooler betwen block and oil filter (came from an honda s2k). i will try to take it off today, maybe i took the wrong hoses for water and besides of getting the oil cooler is hot faster.
Any idea if what my friend told is really? anyone

Re: oil press to low d16y8
Well i was browsin through my service manual last night, and it said as long as you get over 50 ps at 3K rpm, you're good, and you should have at least 10 at idle. Personally I'd like to see at least 60-75 at 3k rpm, and probably 15-25 psi at idle. So take off the cooler and see what happens.
