How much oil psi should a Chevy 350 have?

a Chevy 350 engine at idle at operating temp will need at least 6 psi of constant oil pressure to maintain normal engine operation without doing damage to the motor, regardless of the type and weight of oil being used. when the motor is being run above idol, depending on the age and application of the motor, a 350 needs 12-15 lbs of constant oil pressure to keep the motor free of premature damage. tipically speaking if you have 6 psi of oil pressure on a cold motor and good oil, something is worn, damaged, or broken.
