While on the topic, it's a good time to ask the question - should the oil line be 'bled' when reassembling the gauge?? When I removed the nut (I think it's a little flare or compression fitting) I didn't see any signs of oil; are these 'direct' gauges supposed to have oil right to the register or do they work on air pressure being built up in the line??? I know there is a multi-coil loop in the line right where it goes into the block and this would serve as a 'trap' to keep the oil from draining out, but as I understand it, that looping is more of a vib-damp than anything else. Anybody know????
