    Ok, got my voltmeter wired up finally - went to fuse #6 because I
    thought that one was on with the ignition only, and it had a free male
    connector. The meter stays on even when the car is off, however.
    Anybody know what fuse I can use that IS only on when the ignition is,
    or if its horrible that the voltmeter is always on.... I installed a
    five bar oil pressure gauge as well, and it is maxed out. Any ideas?
    The flame trap is fine - I know the maximum oil pressure is 6 bar, but
    should it be above five bar while idleing? It goes up when I give it
    some gas, so it seems to be working, but.....

    Oh, I just installed new rings, main and conrod bearings, and have only
    driven about 4 miles, but that shouldn't affect oil pressure should
    it?.... hmmmmm....

    thanks in advance for an ideas/ solutions!
