REFLECTOR: Pressure testing oil cooling system

[steve korney]

A champion oil filter is good for about 400 lbs. of pressure ... I'm not 
sure of your coolers... Check with the manufacturer...


Best... Steve

I'm pressure testing my new oil lines and cooling system(two coolers).

I ran it up to 90 psi a couple of hours ago to help chase down any
leaks.   A friend of mine suggested 150 PSI  as a good final test
pressure.   Does that sound about right?
