Default Re: oil pressure

Do as Big Hammer says. I bought a speedster several years ago, with a very tired engine. After sitting overnight the mains pounded like crazy for about a minute until oil got to them. I never timed it but am estimating about a minute. Even if an oil pressure gauge is in that hole, it wouldn't tell you when oil got to the mains. That engine also left a huge trail of oil, coming from the rear main area.
