| + | ====== 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)) \\ | ||
