My Oil pressure has started to drop to 25 psi at idle. Is this right? It seems low I figured 35-40 would be more appropriate. Once it gets over 1200 rpm's or so it gets back up the 50psi. I was thinking the oil pump gasket might of crapped out on me. Or am I just paranoid? I stopped driving it until I know for sure whats going on.1984 CV tudor 351W, 4bbl, 5-speed best time in the 1/8 8.39 at 80 with 1.80 60ft time.

I'd do an oil change, and cut apart the old filter to check for metal shavings. Otherwise...if you used a standard-volume pump for this engine, it doesn't sound too bad.Comment

I don't recall an exact number but i will make sure to make note of it next time i am driving for you.Originally posted by Pesty351 View Post~David~

The tired 351 in my '88 drops to 20 ish at hot idle, with new mains and rods. The engine has close to 175K on it.
The 351 in my car has about 140K, and holds 50 psi hot idle all day long. Both are with 15W40. There is some variability.
You are measuring it with a guage? No crimps in the line or anything? What is the tolerance on the gauge?**2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302: 5.0/ 6 spd/ 3.73s, 20K Cruiser

My 302 idles hot at about 55 psi. You only need about 10 psi per 1000 rpm, so 25 at idle is enough. Did it suddenly drop from some higher figure, or has it slowly dropped to this point as the motor breaks in? My motor used to hold closer to 70 psi at idle, but after about 5k miles it fell to where it is now.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

It slowly dropped to where it is now. I was just worried about it dropping more. You all gave me some good ideas I'm going to check out tomorrow.1984 CV tudor 351W, 4bbl, 5-speed best time in the 1/8 8.39 at 80 with 1.80 60ft time.

Oh i just remembered...after 5 minutes local driving, transitioning to 15 minutes highway driving then stopping on a side street in gear i get 25 PSI. But i always notice that after i change the oil that low number is usually higher for quite some time then it gradually gets to around 25.~David~
