Hi there I recently installed used Detroit s60 12.7 engine in my 97 fld classic, it’s a Detroit reman from 2012 and has around 300k miles on it(apperently) and came off from xpo day cab truck. My oil pressure when hot at idle is 26-27psi at 600rpm and when running 70mph at around 1500rpms it goes up to like 48-50 psi. Are these numbers still ok or should I get some things checked? I know my buddy with same motor runs 60psi hot at 1500 rpm. I am new to this motor so not sure if I am still in good range

Your in spec. For a used engine. Might start doing oil samples to watch it. But your fine.

I’m running the same pressure constantly as you posted. Normal.
Tomek373 Thanks this. -
That’s normal pressure. Exactly what both my 12.7s have had. Before and after being overhauled.
