while I agree with Tony's numbers, I have seen TR3 engines survive with much
less. In fact, I drove a whole year with an engine that showed no pressure
at all at hot idle, and no more than 30-40 psi at hot cruise with the
heaviest oil I could find.
I'll also throw out my usual caveat : Before you get too concerned over what
the gauge reads, make sure it is accurate. Old gauges frequently lie.
