water Pressure
How much water pressure is to much? at 90 mph i have 35 PSI that's about where it maxes out at . Motors did not have thermostats and water pressure was around 10 PSI . I added stats and now its 35-38 psi .
|
What engines?
My 502s seeped water out the sides… I was seeing 30 lbs at cruise speed/laying the needle on the stop all out (above 35 lbs). You might want to bleed some pressure off. 20 lbs is more than enough. |

Under 30psi, if you are in there controlling things shoot for no more than 25psi ???

I might have been on that thread. I had a thread showing the damage done to my blocks from the overpressure. I never got a chance to plumb my pressure regulators to see what the benefits may have been (and with closed cooling I won't need them now) but I do know they were a mess to clean up when I was prepping the blocks for the machine shop trip.

order some 15 lb water dumps from Teague, you'll be glad you did
