Thanks. I was reading a post (see 140 oil pressure thread) about another persons oil pressure question and posted more information there. When the engine is at 80*C, the pressure is fine, but over 80*C, it seems to drop way too low when it is idling in gear, such as a stop light or something. It is still going to about the "3" mark when I hit 1500-1700 rpms though, which is better than the 3000 rpm I have been hearing about.
I have had the engine running with the oil cap off and oil is coming out of that bar and onto that cam. So, I guess the pressure is OK. I just have uncertainties.
Maybe I should go with a different grade of oil if the gauge checks out OK, or else not worry about it and drive it until the wheels fall off.
