Whenever a thread has hit about watching oil pressure gauges...I've always
suggested people learn to look for drastic changes and not become gauge-bound...

even remotely as much as I imagined it was... by watching the damn gauges!

(fortunately, my current Triumph has the very rare tendancy to run cool.)
