Today we ran-up the 1982 FJ45 2F newly overhauled engine for the first time. All went well other that a few water leaks but nothing that could not be fixed.
I have done a few engines in my days on this earth mostly VW engines and a few 302's and a few 350's. This is my second 2F. On the first one I did I do not remember if the oil pressure was as high as this one was. See photo. We did put a new oil pump in along with new rings and cam, main bearings. Readings on round gauge were @1000-1200 RPM 55-60 PSI, on Toyota gauge was in between the two white marks. Idle readings were 40-45 PSI and just below the two white lines.
Just to confirm that most of you that have replaced a pump got this high of a reading on your gauges? High pressure is good and it can be bad.
Please advise on your 2F rebuild.
Cheers
