grab another gage hook it up. if it reads the same then you have a problem. it can be alot of things tho, from a blockage in the system to inproper clearance between the ecentric shaft and the main bearing.

but your pressure should move up and down with a kink in the line. it shouldent be hovering at 30 the whole time. once you hit 3k rpm your pressure should be inbetween 60-78 psi

1. its the gauge
2. its the sender unit
3. you have a clog
4. worn or dammaged oil pump gear
5. pressure control valve broke
6. malfunction of ecentric shaft bypass valve
