Oil dependent.
My type R runs with Millers 10/60 and reads.

From cold - 7 BAR
When at 90' and running - 6 BAR (obviously drops off slightly when at slower speeds)
Idle - 2-3 BAR

Quite high idle, considering it's 6 bar hot.

Mine does 2.8 bar hot idle, 7bar hot running, 8 bar cold running.

But as stated, it depends on what oil is in use, the age of the oil and the mileage of the engine.

With fresh 10w40 millers mine does 100+psi cold idle, between 80 and 90 hot running and between 35-40psi hot idle depending upon the oil temps which sits between 85 and 95 degrees depending upon weather and type of running
