When a crankshaft spins and an oil pump pumps and splashing and squirting
result, tiny bubbles (see Don Ho) are introduced into the pressurized flow
of oil. Some even migrate to the gauge. NO! cried the audience, but alas its
true..

Are you suggesting that because there is a small orfice at the block, air
must
be bled fron the tube? Why?
Given enought time oil will pass thru the orfice & compress the air until
equilibriam is reached & the gage will read the same pressure with or
without
air in the line.
Gary


Should this be the case, air must be bled from the tube going
o the pressure gauge for a true reading
n the line
