I purchased my '53 Jubilee from my sister and have recently been working on it. I got it running pretty well and used it for the first time with a 5' brush hog. I'm running 15W - 40 Rotella oil with a wix spin on filter kit. I noticed the oil pressure seemed very low compared to what I thought it should be. I'm running about 25 psi with hot oil at around 1500 RPM. At idle, about 5 psi. When the engine is cold, runs about 39 psi and around 15 psi. Is this somewhat typical for an older girl? runs fine, has fair amount of blow-by, not the best compression...unless I add oil to the rings. Unit only shows 495 clock hours. Any thoughts? Should I rebuild the oil pump? Just run it and enjoy it? Immediately stop using it? etc.
