Default Finally got round to fitting

my oil pressure gauge. only brought it 2 months ago

And I do belive that I am a worst mechanic than Keithg666 It took me 2.5 hours to fit and quite a few cuts

Anyway I was wondering what kind of oil pressure i should be seeing at idle and when giving it plenty of right foot?

At the mo I see 2bar ish at idle and around 4bar when pushing it.

Does that sound good/bad. should I start worrying and saving my pennies

cheers

26psi (1.8 bar) at idle and 35psi at 2000rpm (2.4 bar). These are miniumum pressures, so your sounds good if taken from normal operating temperature...
