Well after a long wait I finally got my motor back from the machine shop.  I
decided to put an oil pressure gauge on my "new" motor. When the car is cold
I have a ton of oil pressure (the slightest touch on the gas sends the gauge
flying) about 20-30psi at idle, but when the car warms up I get no more than
20psi idle (sometimes the idiot light comes on) and the maximum is about 30
psi (even at 7000rpm!) is this normal? Brand new oil pump, Mann oil filter,
using 20w-50 oil. 

Thanks for your help,
