Re: oil pressure at the lifters at idle

For what makes the gauge flicker, I think it's about 10 PSI, though the gauges and signaling were all but precise. The service manual IIRC says that 10-15 PSI at idle is expected, and I don't believe that to be inaccurate.

On my V8 it's about 12 PSI at warm idle, reading from a mechanical gauge.
