i recently installed a mechanical autometer oil pressure gauge on my 93 lx. i looked on old threads n found that at idle it should read about 20psi. my car read between 50-60 psi when at idle. does ne one kno wut could cause this big of a difference? where did i mess up wt installation n is it easily fixable or am i gona have to re-install the whole thing? thanks a lot guys.

are you sure they were talking about oil pressure? 50-60 is good if you ask me.

I agree, my new motor with a high volume pump makes upwards of 60psi.
