Re: Pressue relief valves?
What is the "rule of thumb" on water pressure?? Minimum?? Maximum?? I have heard 15lbs was ideal. In what situation might a higher pressure be an advantage?

Re: Pressue relief valves?
where is the best place for a pop off valve w/871 blowers ,crossovers no thermostst. i have one between the sea strainer and the oil cooler now,not sure if that is the best place to have the pop off valve.at high speed the water pressure drops way down to 5to8 on the guage.
