<VV> To gauge oil pressure or not

[Dennis PLEAU]

True but you are flying blind.  At highway speeds by time the light goes on you probably need a new bottom end.  The race shops, Summit and Jegs sell a replacement switch with a 15 lb trip point.  I would give enough warning to shut it down, but it would probably turn on the light at idle when hot.  That wouldn't bother me because I understand what is going in, but having the oil pressure light on at any time may bother others.
