Guys,

I am using Quaker State Full Synthetic 5W-30 (Green Bottle). At 2000-2500 RPM, 60MPH(+-), 195° thermostat, I am just running 20 to 23 PSI hot. Is that something I should be concerned about or is that more then enough PSI to push the oil through the engine completely?

It could also be a Stewart Warner gauge failure as I have had a few S/W gauge failures with this rebuild. The dash gauge appears to be indicating normal.

Thanks in advance and take care,
Tom K
