Got a little concern here so here's the story. I have an early 60's MF swather engine (flathead Continental 4 cylinder) that I dropped into my 1941 Case V (with the same engine but 20 years older and a bit smaller, 124 vs 140 cubic inches). The newer engine bolts right into the Case V no problem. I hooked up my Case oil pressure gauge today and it is a low-range gauge which only goes to 30 pounds. That was OK before BUT the new engine pins the needle on the 30 pound mark. Obviously the newer engine is putting out more than 30 pounds of pressure. Easy solution is to put in a higher range gauge but mine is a Case gauge and I don't want to give it up. Question is, will the extra pressure mess up the gauge or will it be OK? I don't mind it showing 30 pounds all the time as long as the gauge can take it. I don't want one of the "new" gauges, they just don't look right. By the way, this gauge is accurate, I tested it on the last engine it was mounted on and it ran at about 18 pounds of oil pressure.
