3bar then 6 on power, is abotu the norm, can vary a bit though depending on what revs the idle is set at etc

no the oil pump is on the front of the engine behind the timing belt,can be done in situe,if the pressure rises with revs how high does it get,does it the reach the manufactures reading at 3-4k revs?

defo to low mate id recommend not driving if not already as its running 345 bud,id say oil pump first as thats the cheapest,stripping the motor will get costly so try pump first,id go with rcm one as your motor isnt standard to mate.Ryan
