I never had an oil pressure gauge to monitor engine oil pressure. And the Z has never driven anything other than wonderfully.

But it is in the shop for some maintenance, one of which is the gallery gaskets - I bought the EPS kit. With 105K daily driven miles (bought new), this is all that remains of my upper oil gallery gasket, with the exception of a few small bits that fell off during removal. The gasket material is cardboard.

If it ain't knockin', rattlering and blowin' blue and white smoke out the tail pipe. It's good for another 100,000 miles.
