BikeJake Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Are they the same? What kind of PSI are we talking about... And... Whst is normal running oil temp range. Sorry so many questions Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 If you are talking Aircooled GSX and oil cooled GSF (ie Blandit?) then no they aren't the same - in fact radically different! A stock GSX oil pressure will be 10 - 15psi (maybe) hot, often lower whilst a oil boiler will seldom drop below 40 - 50 psi hot, when cold they'll often be 80 + psi. Its all about the bearings - ball and rollers Vs shell types! Quote Link to comment
Swiss Toni Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Yup! Ball cranks work on very low pressures, while plain bearing cranks need a lot more! Quote Link to comment
BikeJake Posted June 8, 2023 Author Share Posted June 8, 2023 My apologies that was a mis communication.. I meant all oil burners... So if I figure for rads and lines that can reduced temps by upto 50 degrees and stand 120 PSI... I should be good for a high compression cammed engine? Quote Link to comment

wraith Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Why do you need to reduce the temp by 50° that would mean the engine is always running nearly cold? 1 Quote Link to comment

Maybe he's murican and thus refers to antiquated units of measurement: e.g. a reduction from 120 to 100 C is a 36 degree reduction in F. 1 Quote Link to comment

Gixer1460 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Also not sure where 120psi comes from? Is that what you require? If so, it's waaay to much and would deffo push oil temps skyward and be totally unnecessary! Quote Link to comment

BikeJake Posted June 17, 2023 Author Share Posted June 17, 2023 120 psi is the Max handle pressure of common replacement auto oil coolers available in almost any size with AN fittings. I int going boost anything but cylinder head pressure. Quote Link to comment
