Dave, did you check to see if the hardline nut on the back of the gauge is
loose?
My gauge started vibrating during my return from Conclave in San Diego. I
found the nut loose and tightened it. That fixed the problem.

Subject: [Healeys] oscillatiing/chattering oil pressure gauge
My BJ8 has always had typical oil pressure and still does. The engine runs
great and makes no bad noises. But all of a sudden the oil gauge is
oscillating a lot! It will chatter over a 20-30 pound range when the engine
is at 2500 RPM or so. Even at idle it's chattering back and forth. I've seen
similar things before when there's air in the oil line, but this is a lot
worse.
The engine seems fine...I hope. What could do this? Can the relief valve do
this?
Thanks,
Dave
BJ8
