These are two perfect examples of how the wrong guy (or gal) could easily flag an absolutely beautiful, healthy FE as being bad. A lot our FEs have been built with tolerances and specs that will give hot idle
oil pressure numbers of 20psi or below.
This can be absolutely normal and mean nothing. It all depends.
Likewise, an in-line, under-the-hood, fuel pressure guage, that is liquid filled, will give absolutely wacky, crazy readings when the heat is hitting it. You get used to the wackiness though and learn to "read through it" on your particular engine with a known heat change scenario. If you didn't know that, your first instinct would be to say that there was something wrong with the fuel delivery system.
