that oil pressure sounds pretty low.

mine sees 20psi idling when hot.....but runnning down the road it stays around 65psi, sometimes 85psi.....of course that is rebuilt.

I always question oil gauges though.....new ones can still be shot.


I would think about a budget......start with what you would LOVE to do (head, valves, springs, rings, etc. etc.)...figure a price. then come up with the what CAN i do price list.

get your compression test and go from there.......
