Is My Oil Pump Stuffed?!?

[joe2548]

hey,

i am building an rb30det, i am using the oil pump out of my old rb25det which on the stock guage would show

4-5 at idle when cold

3-4 at 100kmh in 5th

2-3 at idle when warm

my current rb25det(new motor- low km import) oil pressure shows

8+ at idle when cold

~6 at 100kmh in 5th

5 at idle when warm

i used the same oil pressure sender on both engines... so is the first pump stuffed? i pulled it apart and there was slight wear on the teeth of the gears- but i dont have anything to compare it too.

so what does your stock oil press guage show?

thx in advance
