normal oil pressure?
Ok the manuel says that the oil pressure when the oil is at 212F should be 50.8 at 3Krpms. Since I have installed my gauges I havent had the oppitunity to get my oil temps that high(max high for me so far is 180F) 
but my oil pressure is around 44-46 at 3 K. Now i am picking my pressure up through a RB filter mounted sender site. Does that make up for this differance? The factory is probably registering from the electrical site below the filter. Thoughts?

oil pressure is not anywhere near as critical on a rotary as a piston engine, I wouldn't sweat that small difference. It would have been nice if they had listed a minimum allowable spec though ... kind of strange that they only list one point rather than a range or max/min

oil pressure is going to depend heavily both on rpm and temperature
i also haven't looked at RB's adapter, but does is measure on the in or out of the filter (will make a few psi difference)
