coolant pressure

Does anyone know what the running pressure of a 4.4 v8 coolant system should be? I know they run higher than most to increase the coolant temp, but what should it be when hot?

kind regards

200 kPa which equates to 29psi or 2Bar.
Interestingly a td6 runs at 140kPa.

Higher pressure allows for higher temperatures before the water boils and turns to steam

Thanks for that, the reason I asked was last week my header tank burst open (which I know is a common fault) So I thought i'd just check the system pressure to make sure that it wasn't caused by HG failure. Which I'm pleased to see it wasn't!

thanks again
