oil-pressure reading on the gauge. If the pressure reads too high
(i.e. off the gauge,) you will have to fit a weaker one, so it would
pay to get a fairly weak one to start with to save any possibility of
damaging the gauge. The reading should be anywhere between 2 and 5,
and is irrelevant as far as oil delivery goes, as it is just an
indication that the oil pump is actually working.
