I believe its Ok.
Someone with a series 1 QV would certainly help now!
The pressure seems ok, even when you reved the engine. Don`t look at it when the oil is hot though, to avoid you a heart attack.
I have seen low pressures such as 1 bar, which is really low
Nice oil press manometer

Would there be any difference in an 8v compared to my 16v, as in more oil, different galleries ect ect?
Cheers, think its from a ser 1 33 or from a sud

Looks ok to me Al.
I'm no expert but I would assume the time for the pressure to rise would be normal for our mechanical pumps. |

Ok, thanks guys, I am going to do another recording after trickle charging my battery and getting the alternator checked, to eliminate charging/battery issues.
Then I will have some more questions, I will start another thread for that

Looks like it did when I used them mate, the only way to get a true idea of what the oil is doing is to go down the capillary route.

Mine is faster than that but I have an aftermarket mechanical gauge.
Where is your capillary tube taking it's output from on the engine?
Maybe worth changing the tube? When did you last change it? I guess these can get gunged up especially at the end joining pieces as the holes are pretty fine.
