Andy Nefyn Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 My 350 is a 2008 HR on 83,000 miles. It never burns a drop of oil and pressure seems fine. Should I worry about the gallery gasket? I hear horror stories! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coz@TORQEN Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Hi Andy, I'd personally get it done as a preventative measure but obviously that's your call. It's one of the most common issues with these engines, other than that they're pretty bulletproof. Depending on location, if you do decide to go ahead, give Ali @ AB Autoworks or Horsham developments a shout for some quotes on getting them done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Leave it until you have a problem. Oil gallery gasket failure will not affect the engine performance or cause any engine damage. Could possibly run another 83,000 miles before replacement may be required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Nefyn Posted July 13, 2023 Author Share Posted July 13, 2023 That’s reassuring, thanks. What do you think of these oil pressure numbers: Cold 1800rpm 100psi Hot idle 950rpm 45psi Hot 2000rpm 70psi Hot 4000rpm 90psi thanks Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
