Subject:Oil pressure gauges

Hi List,

Regarding the oil pressure gauge point, a non-compressible liquid like motor
oil generates exactly the same applied force to all parts of the hydraulic circuit(s)with
NO delay. That's the beauty of hydraulic brakes - a 1930s automotive revolution.

Why bother dealing with 20'of of oil line that could be damaged and then destroy
an otherwise healthy motor. Pay a few bucks more and buy an electronic gauge
that uses a transducer thus eliminating the 20' of oil pressure line and the
related liability.

Regards,              John
