An engine with plain type crank bearings needs to have around 2 (30psi) bar pressure at idle and 4/5 bar (60/75 psi) under load otherwise the bearings will have no protective oil layer between them and the hard steel crank surfaces. The con rods and bearings (and the main bearings) <!--coloro:#FF0000--><!--/coloro-->actually "float" on pressurised o<!--colorc-->
<!--/colorc-->il so that no metal to metal contact is made. Thats the reason you should never rev an engine after an oil change for around 5 or 6 seconds to allow the pressure to build up in the filter and galleries...........otherwise the crank could get damaged.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
