3020 diesel oil pressure

NY 986 · Aug 22, 2015

Helping a friend with his early 3020 diesel. He just picked it up a month ago and wants to make sure there is no issue before he puts it to work. He wants to tap into a port and test the pressure via a mechanical gauge. How many pounds pressure should it show?

I think that it is smart to check it because apparently on those engines people would overhaul them but not do anything to the balancers. Then when there is some wear in those bushings you get oil pressure drop when the oil is hot and it can lead to thrown rods, etc.
