Re: first pass on new motor
How much & what visc oil? What type pressure gauge?
I've heard that mech gauges with a big enough line will show every fluctuation.
Are you running just enough oil to get thru the traps, or a thin visc like straight 20 wt?
Agreed, better safe than sorry.
Good luck

i actually have hooked 2 different gauges up 1 electric and 1 mech oil i am running is royal purple 10w30 6 1/2 quarts i would think that if it were a bad pump it would have little to no pressure all the time
