Yep. And all of the numbers were in the low to mid 90's. I did use the gauge and on it the numbers were VERY good.

Hmm. When I did the tests I was taking mechanics college classes at the time and my teacher said the those numbers were fine. But on the gauge test I am wanting to say that the numbers were at an upwards of 175.

175 PSI? I would hardly expect to see that from a new motor..... I would run the test again, post up the numbers. Let's see what ya get.
