Having a crankcase full of oil is nice, but it won't help you much unless it is
circulating in the engine. ;-)
If I remember right, it looked like about 25 psi at 5500 rpm. If the reading is
correct, I'd be concerned. First thing would be to get a mechanical gauge in
there and find out what the pressure really is. Roadster gauges have a
reputation for being inaccurate.

Is there anything to worry about even though I had a crankcase full of oil?
Or is my worry only that my gauge is off slightly. Or is it really off...?
