is there any way to monitor oil pressure on a Honda z600?

Post by Bill »

As Don said there is lots of flow and at idle the pump is pushing all the oil in the engine through it every minute.  There are several ways of connecting a oil pressure gauge to the engine.
The one I use is on the remote filter.
It gives you an outlet for both pressure and temperature of the oil.
I see zero PSI at idle or 1100 RPM’s after the engine is warmed up.
At 3000 RPM’s there is about 9 or 10 PSI, which seems to be the max I get to 6000 RPM’s.
With a brand new oil pump, rod and housing there was 30 PSI at idle, but that only lasted for about a week.
But ask anyone that left the oil fill cap off his Honda 600 engine and started it up how much oil is pumping…
