Ey guys my oil pressure at about 1800 rpms is at like 48 psi. And at a hot start up its and idle its at about 17-18 psi. Is this normal? Just making sure. There appears to be no leaks from the oil pan

 

That's good pressure. Min for hot idle is 13 PSI.

Any pics of the dent? I haven't been inside my oil pan yet but I'm sure someone more knowledgable could comment on whether or not you need to worry about the pickup tube for the pump. You can have good pressure without flow

 

Heres a pic no too bad

 

i wouldnt worry about those dents, it wont affect the pickup tube

 

Okay thanks man im def investin in a engine and trans skid

 

Those are dents? lol Looks like you had fun!

 

Spec for the 4.0 is as follows:

*Not less than 13 psi at HOT idle

*Between 37-75 psi OVER 1600 rpms

You're fine.

 

what you mean dude?

 

We understand your under pressure, and yours is good.
Up here they club baby pans just for the oil, so skids are a geat idea!
Besides the dent and scrape your pan looks good.
Who doesn't like the sound of "My XJ's "armoured"?

 

so its really not that bad?

 

Your in good shape.

 

Haha yeah, I meant it looks just like cosmetic damage. Nothing I'd worry about except maybe slapping some paint on.

lmao

 

You're good man, oil pressure is fine and I wouldn't call that dent.

 

Alright thanks guys what do you think of rustys engine and trans skid plate?

 

I have one yet to be installed sitting in my parts pile. It's pretty beefy.
