oil pressure
what should the oil pressure be when the oil is at operating temperature. i get about 40 when cruising and about 20 when at idle. i think its a standard pressure pump. the oil is 10w-40

mine is doing the same thing, at idle it goes between 10-20, but when i give it gas it shoots up to past 40.
is this normal? by the way its aftermarket mechanical gauge.

obviously, im just askin if at idle 10-20 is ok, as say a month again it was constantly at 40, but i had some work done, nothin major, new balancer, timing pointer, rebuilt the carb, new valve covers.. since then oil at idle around 700-800 pressure is 10-20
