Re: Oil pressure question

The factory oil pressure gauge is indeed a 60 psi unit, unless someone along the way swapped in an 80 psi one (found on larger trucks). The best thing to do if your worried is to get a calibrated oil pressure gauge and hook it up and see what psi's you are actually running. A fresh rebuild with tight oil clearances can easily be 60 to 80 psi.
