Like I said, I dont know how exact this guage is. It's an aftermarket one that is hanging under the dash, hooked up to a tiny hose that has oil in it, which goes to the engine. This hose is full of air bubbles though, and they don't really work their way out of there. Why would the engine having worn bearings affect the oil pressure? I don't really get it. I thought a drop in oil pressure only meant two things...it's low on oil, or the oil pump isn't working right. I need to be enlightened, lol....thanks
