Bad Engine!!!

I just got the car and have no history in it as to if the needle used to go past the 3 or not...

What I am wondering about is if this is normal SDL behavior or if I need to correct anything.
Sounds like you have a BAD Engine and ought to get rid of that baby as fast as you can. I have a place to store it while I look for a replacement engine. I'll give you $600 for it.
