Post by: 76 Wreidt on June 30, 2008, 07:47:57 AM

I have a 76 18ft wreidt with a 460 ford and a berkeley jet. when the boat is idiling the oil pressure is at 60 lbs and when on the throttle at around 3000 RPM it is like at 70-75. i have heard people say that is very high and other people have said that is perfect. any help would be appreciated.

My 460 at temp. runs 50-55 PSI at idle and 75-80 PSI at WOT. You're fine man.
