Cranking Pressure?

Billy Nees · 03-22-2010, 06:49 AM

Hi Art, cranking pressure CAN be affected by your lifters not pumping up. I would say that 300 psi is too much but then I was taught to try and keep cranking pressure "more than 160 and less than 210" and I could have been taught wrong. When I was running really high compression Bracket stuff (15 to1) I was only winding up with about 210 but I was using pretty big cams.
If anybody has any other opinions I'd like to hear from them.
