RE: another Ironhead rocker box question
Do not try to use an oil gage on a Sporty's rocker box because it is a waste of good money. The pressure in a rocker box is probably less than 5 psi and you will not even see the needle move on a 0-60 psi gage.
Yeah, I know that they make and sell them for that purpose but the pressure is so little that a gage is worthless used here. Been there and done that........pg

I agree Piniongear that's not worth of it, if you don't find gauge that have 0-20 psi. In warm engine there isn't so much pressure, keep your oilpressure light

I agree with Piniongear. It's a waste of time and money and distracts your attention while riding. BTW, the plugs just seal where the factory drilled the oil feed passages.
