Cold startup - ~100 psi
Warm idle - 40 psi
Warm cruising @ 3000 RPM's - 65 psi
Warm WOT - 90 psi

Mechanical oil pressure gauge tapped into the remote oil filter kit (in line between block and FLA1 filter)

I was reading on NECO guys are getting like 15psi at idle, 60 at WOT

When I fire mine up it buries the needle. I believe mine is the same as yours and thus it is normal...

If he is getting 15 psi at startup...he has prob tapped the head...

That sounds like a good assumption.

That's if he said at startup. He said at idle. At startup, my gauge will pretty much bury itself. After some cruising around, and I come back down to idle, it sits under 10psi.

Unfortunately, my needle broke late last year, so I will have to send the gauge into Autometer to have it reattached. Not sure what it'd read, if I were driving it that is.

I tapped just before the oil filter in the block and my numbers are very similar to yours...
