State Your Engine Problem Areas

[David Brady]

DD S60, 80K miles, no problems, no oil usage, 7 to 7.5 mpg,
gobs of power, wonderful mechanical noise that'll frighten most
women and children. Oil pressure: 40 to 55psi at 1800 rpm down
to 25 psi at idle, water temp: 180 to 205 deg F, turbo pyrometer: up
to 1200 deg F, turbo boost: 30 psi max. 500 hp. I bought the
coach for the motor.
