The oil presure gage was pegged as soon as I got started driving.
After a few starts it has settled 3/4 way between the 30 and 60 psi mark. Probably around 50-55 psi.
I talked to someone who had a similar problem and he high presure caused oil leaks.
any idesa?
I am thinking about bying a second oil pump and trying to test id to get a little lower pressure.
Major concern is sealing the thing. I am running a 216 valve cover, wtih the 216 draft tube.
