Oil pressure problem
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
		
 
 
 
   Before and after engine overhaul the oil 
  pressure after the engine warms up goes just into the red. They have 
  tried turning the pressure up but this seems to only make the pressure go 
  up when cold. If the temperature outside is real cool the pressure goes 
  over 200 psi. The engine builder said its in spec. I think there is a 
  problem somewhere. I want the oil pressure to run in the green. Does 
  anybody have any ideas on what could be causing this. I'm afraid its 
  going to blow the gage out one cold morning. 
 
        Sounds like the relief valve is sticking. That'll cause low oil 
pressure when hot and high when cold.
