    My new Mooneyes oil pressure gauge says my old 239 has 80psi at cold idle and it goes down to about 60 when warmed up and cruising around. Does that sound right? It seems a little high right?

    I'd check it with another gauge. High mileage Yblocks are noted for low oil pressure esp. when hot.

    Sounds pretty optimistic to me.
