Does......
20 psi oil pressure at 5000 rpm mean that I'm not going anywhere in KAC until I've changed the engine? ☹

KAC lives again, thanks to Wolvey Motor Services for dropping the engine in that Carledo and myself built at the NEC for the resto show.
Apparently, 60 psi oil pressure at cold tickover!
I'll strip the old engine, and see what 15 years of abuse looks like!
HAPPY

Re: Does......
Just 15 years of abuse. Bloody rubbish build quality.
15 years of Bruce abuse = 35 years of normal driving
