Re: Low idle

renault_megane_dci I appreciate the heads up on potentially too low oil pressure. I would like to find a way to measure the oil pressure, because I have done this on several older carburated cars which had oil pressure sensors and would find a medium setting with a lower idle with just a slight drop in oil pressure and had no problems for 150,000 miles on American cars. According to some there is a bit of a wifes tale about oversquare rules of thumb but that is a grey area and I am not trying to start an argument on the topic (see Why "Over Square" Is Good ). Also do you know a ball park figure for the design margin on the oil pressure?

I am curious about the mods you have done and appreciate any constructive criticism. You mentioned low bars on your GN 250, exactly what are those and does that just lower the suspension ?

Thanks
