thats some good info Myrosia;
what kind of average oil pressure should the zetec see at the head? since the valves adjust that way then low oil pressure would lead to excess noise. I have my oil pressure unit plumbed to the port by the coil pack and I usually see about 80psi when I first start the car , it will eventually settle to around 55-60psi cruising and when fully warm on a hot day can get as low as 20 psi at idle. (running 5w-30 synthetic)
