Mechanical Oil Pressure Gauge

[jgerry2002]

Anyone know of an mechanical oil pressure gauge I can use to externally test oil pressure in an M10?

Yes, I am familiar with the electronic/vdo setup. I need something that I can use to test a motor with externally (handheld is fine).

Thanks.

There are many companies that make mechanical gauges (for 2 1/16" holes) that you can use for that purpose. I do not know of one that is handheld specifically.

Snap-On Tools (order on line) from any mobil

tool truck - lifetime warranty of course

had a handy gauge with many different thresded adapters

inicluded - comes in a dandy red plastic Special Tool Box.

will last you a life time, and eliminate guess work

note: M10 engines have had 2-different low oil pressure switch

threaded holes during their production - this is why you'll need

the included adapters.
