-====== Oil Pump Pressure (57-85) ====== 
-Engine oil pressure was measured (by the MoCo) with a pressure gauge at the oil pump. \\  
-Expected oil pump pressure per FSM's: \\ 
- 
-**Gauge mounted at oil pump**: \\ 
- 
-As checked with hot oil and a gauge at the oil pressure switch location at the oil pump. \\ 
-The oil pressure switch has to be removed for the gauge to be installed. \\ 
- 
-**1957-1969**:​ ((1959-1969 HD FSM pgs 3A-11, 3A-15)) \\ 
-Minimum: 3-7 psi (idle, with spark retarded) \\ 
-Normal riding conditions: 10-14 psi (6 psi at 20 mph) \\ 
- 
-**1970-1978**:​ ((HD 70-78 FSM pgs 3-1, 3-5)) \\ 
-Minimum: 3-7 psi (idle) \\ 
-Maximum: 15 psi (60 mph in high gear) \\ 
-Normal riding conditions: 4-15 psi 
- 
-**1979-1985**:​ ((1979-1985 HD FSM pgs 3-1, 3-10)) \\ 
-Minimum: 4-7 psi (idle) \\ 
-Maximum: 10-20 psi (3500 rpm) \\ 
-Normal riding conditions: 4-15 psi \\ 
- 
-**Note**: On a cold startup, expect pressure to reach ~60 psi ((IronMick of the XLFORUM http://​xlforum.net/​forums/​showthread.php?​t=1456449)) \\
