Follow the instructions for the precharge. I used less than 10 psi, just enough to get the piston to the bottom of the bore. Oil pushed into the bottom under pressure will compress the air on top to a pressure equal to the oil pressure. 60psi on top would require at least 60psi oil pressure to put any oil in the can severely limiting the amount available to protect the engine.
