i have just fired up my 261 after getting it all dialed in, thanks for the forums past post on all issues i have had trying to get it up and running,
my question is that i have what seems to be high oil pressure, i had the valve cover off when i first started it and the oil was flowing real well, i dont have an oil pressure guage hooked up yet but i did add a remote oil filter assembly by fram for a spin on oil filter and put a T for when i get a new oil pressure guage i can just plug it in, after the engine heated up to 180F i was out front looking at the water flow when the thermostat opened up, since i have a 62 p10 step van i have to open a small door on the front to have access to the radiator fill, after i checked the water flow i went back into the step van to check things over and at idle the oil was squirting about an inch high out of the center rocker arm and lesser at the front and rear of the rocker assembly, now when i reved the new 261 the oil would really squirt out of the rockers, i mean this thing is dumping some oil up top, i know since i cant tell you what the pressure is but my old tired 235 would just trickle out oil, i am sure that the 235 was all clogged up, should i be worried about the high oil pressure, the well known engine shop that did this 261 installed the oil pump and everything that had to do with the oil pump, so i dont know what is normal for an inline 6 engine..
any input would be greatly appreciated!
thanks
Jeff
