[urq] oil pressure

[SpotatAshleys]

My 87 WR has the following oil pressure:
first think in morning (approx 6 centigrade) 80psi at fast idle, 95-100psi
2000 rpm - I keep revs down and treat it kind until oil is warm. When at
normal operating temp, pressure is 80psi at 3000 rpm, 40psi at idle.
E|ngine is recent rebuild - 2000 miles on it.
Hope this helps.
