Oil pressure when priming ?

[1984 t-type]

What kind of oil pressure should I see while priming the engine ?

 

[pacecarta]

depends on the spring in the pump ,
if it a 60 psi spring you should see 60 psi

Not sure what spring is in there, is there an acceptable range I should be looking for, like a min to max ?

It also depends on the drill you're spinning it with. There's not really a 'spec' for priming the engine pressurewise. You're just trying to get out as much air as possible before loading the engine.

I prime until oil is coming from all pushrods and manually rotate 360d.

A good flow of oil from all rocker arms and pushrods.

Do 180 instead, that way you don't put the oil transfer holes back on the same rods.

Yup thanks for clarifying.
