oil pressure
Does anyone here have an aftermarket oil pressure gauge in their 6.0. I need to know the oil pressure at idle and around 2000 rpm on a cold and warm engine.
Thanks

I need the figures because my oil pressure regulator was sticking and the high pressure was pushing oil past the turbo seal into the exhaust. Before I ruin another turbo I want to check the oil pressure at the turbo inlet. Now cold at the turbo inlet (the turbo is completely removed) its 85psi at idle and around 125psi @2000 cold and warmed up its 45psi and90psi @2000.
The old regulator was sticking in its bore and was scored up bad. I replaced the regulator and the bore looked good. It moves freely now, but I just want to be sure.
