that's a lot of oil pressure, mine was up about the same, and all your doing is waisting power pumping the oil round and up to the pressure reliease valve and dumping back into the gearbox. I use a ball bearing and a cut cooper S release valve spring, and an adjustable oil pressure kit which replaces the domed nut. Runs when fully warm at 50psi.

Yea, its had all that done, might be becuase there is an oil cooler and high pressure oil pump on there, it has always run that high so I'm not too worried about it, I'm sure Bill would of picked up on it when he had it a week or two ago. Thanks for the concern/advice though.

Just out of interest what spec engine was yours?
