Oil Pressure Gauge Reading???

Post by **chiefrcd** » Wed Nov 08, 2006 9:24 am

Anyone know what the gauges read in if they are metric? Mine has something over KM2 ( I think ).....and more overly how do I convert this to PSI?

I can only guess that KM(2) might be Kilograms per square centimeter.
Kilograms per square centimeter x 14.223 = pounds per square inch (PSI)if not that try one of these

Where did you get your gauge, France?

I would imagine that it came with the engine from Japan....

Well, I'm reading 4 so that would make the oil pressure about 56 psi at 3200 rpms.....

sound right???

Well, I only get 2800 WOT, and I run between 45-60, so, I'm thinking your in the ballpark, but I sure ain't no mechanic

is Kg/ccm the same as 1 bar? That's quite the coincidence that it works out to be about 14.

No, you can't get a rum and coke from a KeG

Hey, I'm in. This is a really good site and full of very useful info.

re: oil pressure. I took a closer look at my gague and it reads more like 60 psi at 3300 and up.
