I have used mechanical oil pressure gauges, inside, for the better part of 40 years and never had a problem. You just have to be smart enough to route the tubing where it won't rub on anything that will cause it to rupture.

Yeah I don't have a problem with mechanical gauges either. The only one I wouldn't do is fuel pressure (gasoline). I run a mechanical FPG in my diesel truck, but diesel fuel isn't nearly as dangerous as gasoline.

stock gauges NEVER are spot on. mine also reads 60 psi after warmed up.

Will oil ooze out if the oil cooler bypass is taken off with oil in the motor?

I drilled and tapped my stock block off. The angle that it's at clears my pacesetter headers.

No, its above the oil level. That is unless your car is at a severe decline sitting position.
