REFLECTOR: Pressure testing oil cooling system

[Keith Hallsten]

Scott,

I notice that GRT provided me with a 0-150 psi pressure transducer for the
oil system, which tends to suggest that 150 psi might be a reasonable
"proof" pressure for testing.

Regards,

Keith Hallsten

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?
