too much oil pressure?
Discussion
I have an AJ30 engine and on start up and until the oil temperature is up to about 70degC (I have both aftermarket gauges) the oil pressure is at full scale = 100psi even at 900 revs.
Once above 70 then it starts to reduce, when up to temperature (95degC) tickover gives 25psi, 1500 revs gives 40 to 50 psi and anything above 3000 shows 60 to 70 psi. I'm wondering if the excess pressure is having any negative effects within the engine - timing chain tension etc.?
