Re: Gauge problem? Bad oil pump? ???????
What weight oil are you running? If you are running light oil the pressure will be lower. You lose a little power (less than 1%, so not much) running heavier but you will have more pressure. Of course this doesn't mean that you want to run the heaviest oil you can get, but I'd ask an engine builder that you trust what they recommend for your build. My engine builder recommended that I run 20-50 because of the summer heat we get (110+).
