K, sounds good. I was just worried about the intermittent nature, that maybe it didn't do whatever it did when the gauge gave me a low reading when the tech had it hooked up. And yeah, 1.5 bar at idle with these cams is fine. The engine builder basically said oil pressure at idle with these cams can just be ignored.

I put it a new sender this morning and drove all over the place without any weird drop off the max peg when giving it throttle.

Turned out to just be the sender.
Also, I learned today that valve cover gaskets are not like the gaskets on oil filters, i.e. you shouldn't rub oil on them...European Cars of Williamsburg got me back on the road shortly after I had to pull over though

I'm not sure if I should give you -rep or +rep to punish you for this statement.

But on the other hand, it looks like he's going for the red medals, so +rep might be what he doesn't want.

Dang it, I must have read it, deleted it before I updated my list, and forgotten what you said. So...was it a yes or a no?

EDIT: oh, weird, now I got it...must be PM delay.
