    Did you ever figure out what your higher then usual oil pressure was from?? Im still suffering the same thing but not as bad. It did help when I went to a thinner oil..

    Ill have to look. But it wasnt always like this. At least I dont think it was. Its running well,I was just wondering if there is any harm being done.. I know TOO much isnt a good thing but how much is too much?

    After Kyle posted his numbers with the 15-50, I checked mine out. I was high pressure cold (I know its thicker, etc.), but once it came up to temp everything was fine.

    Change oil filter brands? Add an oil cooler? Did you do anything different?

    Does it have a cooler on it (maybe a hose kink)? What filters does the owner usually run? It doesn't have a K1 crank does it?

    Mine went down to 24 PSI at idle, and ~180* ECT...still a little on the high side, but fine. I was maxing it out at WOT with the 15-50.
    I forget what weight you went to, but I'm running 0-30 mobil one with a k&n hp2004 filter.

    Did you ever find that leak, or was it the dipstick tube from over pressure?

    It was a pin hole in the dip stick tube where the weld broke where the bracket meets the oil dip stick. Who da thunk?

    Wow, that had to be tough to locate.

    With this new cooler weather, idle is up to 34psi. Haven't been WOT to see what happens.
