thanks Dennis...

so given a choice for one gauge, either oil temp. or oil pressure, which
one you recommend?

what I have read the opinions are 50/50..

1. oil temp. gauge: since oil temp. and oil pressure are interrelated, a
high oil temp can be translated to a low oil pressure...

2. oil pressure gauge: again since oil temp. and oil pressure are
interrelated, a low oil pressure can be translated to a high oil temp...
but a low oil pressure also means a internal failure (rod bearings, seals
etc.) note related to oil temp...

so which one is better to have?
