However, after losing an engine I think I understand why the oil pressure gauge wasn't included. When the oil pump failed in mine, the damage was catastrophic, but it happened within seconds. An oil pressure gauge wouldn't have told me anything the idiot light didn't. If this engine gets loose enough as it ages to show low oil pressure on a gauge, I suspect a catastrophic failure will follow too quickly for a gauge to accomplish anything.
These engines seem to have two operating conditions: go or shatter. They're made to run until they don't, and then you throw them away and replace.
