"Other engines" meant American V-8s, etc, where 60 psi is routine. > Interesting info about the oil pressure, both the hydrodynamics and pressure > sensor location.

I am going from admittedly poor, and rapidly growing older, memory. I may be wrong. I think the type 1 pickoff point is closer to the pump. There will be some pressure drop even between these 2 points, especially with heavy oil.
