Help I need info on what my oil pressure guage should read at idle
I need to know if my autometer guge is reading correctly at idle. At 940-1000 rpm it reads 10psi. Is this ok??? If I lower the RPM to 880 it reads about 5psi-opsi.
I need to know if I'm damaging the engine.
Also what should it be reading on acceleration and on boost??
Any help would be greatly appriciated. Thanks Diego

10psi is a fraction low, my engine reads about 30psi at idle, up in the rev range it reads up to around 80psi,
my old motor had the same problem a o ring was going in the oil pump and leaking out pressure.
