My oil pressure switch threads into the adapter from the star kit, but it does not go in completely ... there is still like half of the threads left and i know it isnt bottoming out into the adapter ...is this okay?

In more words, the oil pressure switch is a taper thread, which seals to the block by torqueing the shit out of it, and basically wedging the two surfaces together.

Never had an oil temp gauge, personally.

Generally, the cooler everything is, the longer it lasts, and the faster you go.
