Oh, I'm planning to rotate the gauges as needed so their pointers point
straight up  when reading normal levels, but I see oil pressure gauges
reading 0-80 psi, 0-100 psi, 0-150psi and more. Knowing what might be
"normal" oil pressure in a 1.9L wbx would help me pick one that doesn't
have the needle cramped over to one side under normal operating
conditions.
