Noticed high oil pressure at approximately 65 PSI start up while idling on a 90 degree day, under load while driving the stock gauge pegs out.
Today I hooked up a mechanical gauge and got about 55 PSI. during revs up to 2600 rpm it reached 100 PSI under no load. I haven't tested it while driving but I assume it will give me extreme readings as well.
Now that the sending unit is crossed off as a culprit does anybody have any ideas what I can do to further trouble shoot? as I understand it these kinds of pressures indicate restricted flow and could be very bad for the engine.
Please Help!
