Reply to "Cooling system over pressurized"

GREAT! More fun stuff I learn about my engine. Good thing I'm going through it next year.

Presently though I'm not worried, cold idle pressure is 65lbs hot idle pressure (220 oil temps) is over 40lbs.

Any rpm above idle when hot is 60-70 lbs. I think the bypass spring in the pump keeps it right at or around 60-70 if I'm not mistaken.

Good move not 'fixing' it until there's really a problem, Mike. Roger once put a check valve in his oil filer line so oil would not drain out when the engine was off and cause engine wear on starting (many filters do this anyway). On a run home from the 'Vegas Fun Rally that year, the plastic guts of his check valve MELTED, slid out of position and plugged about 75% of the oil flow to the engine....
