Yeah, you should be good to go.
 






i got the gauge on and its all good no leaks. what numbers should i be getting i have 60 psi cold idle and 35 psi warm idle
 






i take that back at 1k i have 25 psi im pretty sure thats good for a motor with 197k on the clock and no rebuild that i know of
 






That sounds right.
 






okay thanks and does anyone know if the oil pickup is in the front or back of the pan?
