The pressure in a crankcase should ideally be close to atmospheric pressure, typically ranging from -1 to +1 psi relative to atmospheric pressure. This slight negative pressure helps prevent oil leaks and ensures proper sealing of the engine components. Excessive positive pressure can indicate a problem, such as blow-by or a blocked ventilation system, which may require immediate attention. Regular monitoring is essential for optimal engine performance and longevity.

...It will be what ever your suction pressure is.
Why is air sucking into oil fill on 1999 Ford Mustang?
Because there is a vacuum in the crankcase. There should be a slight vacuum due to the positive crankcase ventilation. If there is excessive pressure or vacuum, you have ring blow-by, meaning your rings are shot.
What can cause excessive crankcase pressure?
Excessive crankcase pressure can be caused by several factors, including worn or damaged piston rings, which allow combustion gases to escape into the crankcase. Blocked or malfunctioning positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) systems can also lead to pressure buildup. Additionally, oil leaks and excessive oil levels can contribute to increased pressure. Overheating or engine wear can exacerbate these issues, leading to further complications.
How do you measure your crankcase pressure?
With a tool called a slack tube manometer.
What causes excessive crankcase pressure?
Excessive crankcase pressure is often caused by a combination of factors, including worn piston rings, which allow combustion gases to escape into the crankcase, and a clogged or malfunctioning PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) system that fails to vent these gases properly. Other contributing factors can include excessive oil consumption, poor engine ventilation, and engine blow-by, where gases bypass the piston and enter the crankcase. This buildup of pressure can lead to oil leaks, seal failures, and reduced engine performance.
What will most likely happen if a piston ring end gap is too small on a motorcycle?
combustion pressure will leak into the crankcase, and oil from the crankcase will leak into the cylinder.
Why would a dipstick blow out of a tractor?
1. The crankcase breather may be plugged. or---- 2. Too much crankcase pressure. There is too much blowby (combustion gasses leaking by the rings or piston), causing excessive pressure in the crankcase. To repair this, you will need to re-ring or bore out the engine with new pistons and rings.
What does a crankcase breather do?
The PCV or positive crankcase ventlation valve does as it is named. It will remove harmful gases from the engine. Also, you can find breather caps on the valve covers, this also helps to remove and fumes from the crankcase or engine base.
If there is crankcase pressure on a 1989 Volvo 740 why would there be no vacuum in the motor?
If the rings are completely worn out they can put more preasure in the crankcase than the pcv can handle. Have it checked out.
