So what sort of gaskets are you running to keep that sort of pressure in! as for the lesser car thing dream on thats why the kelly boys want a dispensation for there quad cam v8 because it dont make the same power as a pushrod v8

It must be a datsun thing after all those years of copying austins couldnt they copy a relief valve effectiveely.!

just what the engine builder supplied, was running up to 105 psi ,eased it back to 80 psi ,rule of thumb10 psi for every 1000 rev

Gaskets are so 1954 (well paper gaskets are)Jesus havent you ever heard of liquid gasket and cnc machined surfaces!Guess since you dont own a nissan thats the problem.Some people just love the character of their oil leaking american v8 i guess.

LOL.Even Minis have a relief valve that normally cuts in at 70lb psi as the oil pressure on old, cold oil is too high.By adjusting the spring length, you can adjust the relief pressure.I run the old 3 litre at 70lb psi.
As another poster has also stated, the bore of the metal or braided oil pipe is tiny so the amount of oil is quite small.However, you steer well clear of those with nylon lines that can melt if too close to a hot exhaust leak. Been there done that - had an under bonnet fire on the rolling road.

Why would I own a nissan for, it does not look as cool as the chev, it dont sound as good as the chev, 99% of them dont go as well as the chev. And It dont need to pull 9500 revs to make power and its drivable on the road

yeah 120psi sounds like a tall tale What size bigend bolts have you got coz its not a bad idea to keep reciprocating mass down a bit or havent datsun figured that out either.

I like thousands of others who were burnt by datsuns failure and subsequent closure in Melbourne wouldnt touch a Nissan with a 30foot varnished pole.

As above, minis have an oil feed into the cabin as standard (well actually most of the line into the cabin would have air in it probably). Anywho, I can say from experience that when the line bursts/perishes it dumps a LOT of oil. It doesn't matter that it's less than a mm internal, oil at 80lbs is oil at 80lbs.

That's because Holden antifreeze was used in a Nissan engine.

I have put mechanical oil pressure gauges in a few cars that I have had. Best way is a bracket on the motor and a bracket on the firewall with a brake hose between. Much the same as a clutch setup.

So the last Nissan you owned was a Datsun! Maybe you should join the rest of the world and try driving something newer.

How long did the brake hose last with oil in it!
