HI warbird
I posted a chart with the specs. awhile back. Here is a link you can have a look at:

You might want to include the type of motor (Z or W) you have warbird when you ask a question like that. Thanks.

But the real question is what kind of power output SHOULD you have?

Hi, VIN is 1GNDM19W3RB****** Does that help?
Cheers

Matrixx :ty: for that, looks like 200Hp! Blimey!! :bouncy: Oil pressure at 18 PSI though??

Hi warbird
Thanks, yes it does. 200 hp is a get up and go motor for sure. Mine is 190hp and it's no slouch,hehe. 18 PSI...? Hmm, that's a bit low and borderline, it could just be the oil pressure sending unit or the type of oil your running in the motor.

You might want to have it checked though when you get a chance to make sure. I have replaced a 1/2 a dozen or so, they do get faulty over time. Hope this helps. Please keep us updated, Thanks.

Hi, the oil pressure I was quoting from the spec details in the link that was posted above, mine is around 38/40 PSi which I would consider OK, It certainly is a fantastic engine with a very smooth power band.

in Bristol, UK, where it's raining!(again) :screaming:

Hi warbird
18 PSI does sound a bit low for sure. 38/40 PSI with yours should be fine yes. The oil pressure specs. vary with certain years.

I like the rain and snow actually, that's why people who know me think I'm a bit ...Hmmm....."Abby Normal?".......hehe. UK does get their fair share of rain for sure. Thanks for the update and I'm glad your enjoying your van. I enjoy mine as well.

Warbird, why are you so mad? Doesn't it always rain there?
