Bruce is the man for oil pressure gauges. If you have one laying around and just need to figure out how to mount it, you can drill and tap the bolt on the oil galley. That's what I did and it's working fine.

If the gauge shown is on a ball bearing crank motor, it might register 20 PSI on a cold morning at start up. After warm up, you'll be < 10 PSI so use a 20-30 PSI full scale gauge.

Ball bearing crank? You mean roller bearing crank, right? Threw me off for a sec, there!

The common gauges used are 0 - 15psi - I think there are origionally intended as a fuel pressure gauge. My 850 doesn't get anywhere near pegging this gauge when cold and when the oil is hot, the pressure is about 1 psi at idle and 4 psi at normal running speeds.
