Default Re: Is oil pressure gauge really needed?

Why do all that work just to scare the Sh** out of yourself? I had an Ford 8N Tractor that I rebuilt the engine on. I had heard that they were low but I didn't know how low. When I first stated it on 30 straight weight it went to 45 lbs. I rejoiced, It's good! !5 minutes later, I shut it down! It was down to 5Lbs. How that was possible could only be answered one way, The bearings had destroyed themselves. I wanted to get drunk! You dummerasel! What did you do wrong? I went over my work again and again in my mind! I talked to a couple of guys I know about it and they told me that 5lbs hot was pretty good for a Ford tractor. Model As are pretty similar.
