)
of the engine. Under normal
operating conditions the oil pressure should be
approximately 25 psi.
14. The coolant temperature gauge (Figure 46) will indicate
the coolant temperature. Under normal operating
conditions the coolant temperature should be between
165 and 215 degrees Fahrenheit (Green Zone).
