I have a couple of additional questions. Does your
gage only go to 30 PSI, since you said it was pegging
out? So is it really pegging out at both ends? Is
your gage off an electrical sensor or do you have an
actual oil line running to the gage (they used to have
lines to the gage, I don't know if those are still
used). And is this happening all the time or only
under certain conditions; idle, accelerating, etc.
