Hi, looking for some advice r.e. oil pressure. Just purchased a 4236 and oil pressure when warm /hot is about 35 psi on tick over, raising to about 42 on tick over. engine is currently out of boat, is it worth overhauling ( dont want to!) or is theis o.k.? Many thanks!

edit 'min 30 lbf/in2 at rated engine speed and normal working temperature'
