Thanks for that info Peterroverp5Bcoupe said:Gerald,
My Sd1 V8 Haynes manual says 40 to 45 lbf ft which is 54 to 61 Nm. I believe the setup on the Sd1 engine is identical to a P6 engine so this can be used.

Geordie Jim said:Whoa,
Just read through this and couldn't believe the "heated" arguments.
Simple Facts. Pump only gives FLOW. (not pressure)
Pressure is due to resistance( to flow)
Increase in pump capacity ( longer gears) will result in more flow.
Higher revs will result in more flow.
Ergo- more flow, with no change in resistance will result in higher pressure.
The resistance (to flow ) is dependent on the engine clearances. that is the state of (wear) the bearings.
The relief valve is only to limit the max pressure.
The only other factor is the oil viscosity, and that is also temperature dependent.
Don't think I have missed anything.....

stina said:Hi Gerald .
Yep . can confirm 40/45 lb/ft from the P6 workshop manual , (Reading it in bed ) It's in the text , section on fitting the timing gears , not in the settings section for some reason :?
Those gears will bring your cam timing back in line with the original settings , will feel " sprightly " again

Quite enjoyed fine sanding the alloy bits and high polishing with alu polish and buffing wheel ..
Something to do when nothing to do . Im A.D.D in the head you know .
I took a long time painting all those HT leads blue . Couldn't find red paint like you used on your motor .

You did remember to fit the oil thrower back on the crankshaft didn't you?
