I was looking online and there is a 50 psi and an 80 psl. Current oem gauge reads 25 psi at best, seems low. Owner said other original engine was the same, as this engine was replaced about 3000 miles ago. He has been driving it for 6 years without any issues. I'm not sure if they moved the sending unit from the original engine to the new engine, but if they did maybe its bad, or can the gauge be bad? What should the normal psi be at idle and them higher rpm?
