Oil Pressure??

[Vteckidd]

thats fine, most hondas at idle are between 8-15psi.

AS long as your peak pressure is still 60+psi an VTEC works you are fine. If you dont see any metal in the oil then i wouldnt worry about it.

How many miles on the motor?

You can cut your oil filter apart if you want, see if theres metal in there.

Rarely do Main bearings spin or have any problems, i think ive seen maybe 2 Main bearings spin in the last 7 years, both were due to improper machine work

Cool man, thanks for the insight. Mileage on the motor is around 70 maybe 80k. I read also the usually the pressure is 10psi per 1k, so at 6k=60psi, 8k=80psi, etc.

thats a good guideline but not always true.

Oil pressure is obviously related to RPM so as the RPMs go up, pressure should increase, but you will reach a point where it wont climb anymore. The pump can only spin so fast, only has so big of a relief springs, etc etc etc.

Usually as long as its 60psi+, your good. Ive seen H22s put out 90PSI before so there are differences.

Okay, Thanks for the help Mike
