Basically, these old, slow engines do not need much pressure for normal use.
While I agree that low pressures are OK on the F20 and 30, the F12 has plain bearings in it and is full pressure lubed not splashed. If the pressure is not enough to maintain the oil film on the bearings you got problems. Most of the replacement gages sold today are for the 12/14 and barely read any pressure when installed on a 20 or 30.
