Hi guys!
I owned a 1980 300D a while back and I remember the oil pressure indicated at idle around "1.5". The engine was in need of an overhaul. Had excessive oil consumption as well as blow by.
A worn diesel engine for a 300SDL should indicate a below "3" on the dashboard. My question is : a rebuilt engine (20,000 miles) should indicate a "3" on idle, right? That should be a sign of "health" for a rebuilt engine.
Thanks,
Marius
