Most likely the knock you hear is not a main bearing, but a rod bearing. When the bearings wear, they tend to get egg shaped and once the oil warms and thins out, the knock becomes more apparent. It is possible (if the crank journals are not worn beyond tolerances and there are no cracks) that a new set of bearings alone can temporarily quiet the knock down. This is something a backyard mechanic could do if he (or she) is experienced. However, leave the tolerance checking to a professional. There are a number of things he will want to check and all are important.
about 15psi or 1.1bar.
The minimum engine oil pressure at operating temperature is 15psi. You should see more than a 25psi when you operate at elevated RPMs.
15psi for the front and rear tire mate
At idle, around 15psi. Or roughly 10psi for every 1,000rpm the engine is at (ie 2500rpm you should have at least 25psi)
if room tem is 70f 15psi
if room tem is 70f 15psi
You need some sort of an instrument. Most of us just use a pressure gauge, although you could do it empirically--you could throw the end of the hose in water, and if bubbles came out you would know the gas pressure is at least as high as the water pressure--which is 15psi since the 15psi atmosphere is pressing down on the water.
1 bar is atmospheric pressure, or 15psi. 4 bar (not "bars") would therefore be 60psi.
The 121 degree temperature is maintained by the pressure itself, if the pressure were to drop bellow 15psi then the boiling point of the water would drop, and the temperature would fall. The boiling point of water is affected by pressure, the more pressure the higher the boiling point, hence a higher temperature.
generally most radiator caps should hold 15psi, if they drop the cap is no good.
The 305 can actually run and drive on a low as 5psi of oil pressure anything lower you're in trouble. A 305 should typically have anywhere from 40 to 15psi to be in excellent running condition.
