Oil pressure question,
How long should it take for oil pressure to register on the gauge?  The engine
is from a '74 MGB and has about 1500 miles after rebuild.  It seems that the
longer it sits, the longer it takes for the gauge to show pressure. 15 sec
after 8 hours, 40 sec after sitting over night and about 50 seconds after
sitting several days. Once the gauge starts showing pressure, it jumps up to
about 20psi then slowly climbs on up to 60psi. It has the inverted oil filter
w/check valve.  I'm using 15 w 40 synthetic. The gauge has not been bled.
Thanks, Danny
