My readings...

I just put my motor back together, didnt rering it or anything though. I am dang near pegging the 80 psi gauge on startup and during hot idle around 20 psi. I think somewhere around 20 psi hot is pretty good.

so then i really dont need a gauge that reads up to 200psi the 100 psi one will b enough so u say around 20 is good is that only on idle with car being warm already ? or is that also while driving? thanx for the info jerry
