Too much of a good thing....

On JAGUICK I have too much oil pressure....95 lbs with 10/30 oil.
.015 mains and rods

Causing my lifters to pump up at 6200.....

Relief valve is free, just a stock Stage 1 spring, stock oil pump.

Any ideas?

Are you bringing this car to Quaker? I would LOVE to see it.

 

yes, we'll be there!

 

front or back??

is that pressure reading taken at the stock oil press switch location at the front or from the rear of the lifter galleys? I ask because if it is at the front just above thepump, it indicates a restriction, possibly just above at thefront cam brg. just a thought.

 

Yeah good point Scott, it's at the front.....I hope it not some debris from my pre-luber pump. I think I need a filter before and after the pump in case the impeller takes a crap.
