worn lifters? low oil psi @ idle
worn lifters? low oil psi @ idle
When my car idles the oil pressure is around 15psi. But when i accelerate it goes up, about 10psi per thousand rpms. i was told its not a problem as long as the pressure still goes up.
any thoughts or concerns?

Re: worn lifters? low oil psi @ idle
That is how these cars work. The oil pressure is really low at idle, then rises high during load. Mine sits about a quarter inch right above the red line at idle. Nothing to worry about, unless like the person said, it doesn't go up under load.
BTW, I have virtually the same car as you.
I'd go with the 6 psi of boost first...
