    too much oil pressure? I would kill for that problem in my 202 atm!

    oil pressure is a beautiful thing but its wierd that its getting past the sender. R u sure that the thread isnt farked in the sender and the block? Maybe try a copper washer as well since it bites in a little bit as it gets tightened.

    stuck pressure relief spring? to check remove the filter ,unbolt the filter housing (4 bolts) and you will find the pressure relief spring against the inside face of the filter housing. are you certain that you have to much oil pressure? have you checked with a gauge?
