What should idle pressure be on LS oil pump?
Despite this lower pressure, there still is sufficient oil volume to feed the bearings and energize the hydraulic roller lifters. Given this situation, excessive idle oil pressure is of minimal benefit. Idle pressures of 30 to 35 psi, or even as low as 20 psi, offer no cause for concern.
