At one stage I had it checked and was told the pressure was indeed higher than indicated, right where it should be.
That left me wondering if perhaps the sender was the wrong one and an idle moment I ordered a new sender from Robeys and yesterday fitted it without too much drama - just skin loss. It matches the one that was installed, right down to the markings, #'s etc on it.
I then started the car and the pressure climbed nicely ... and kept climbing, hitting 100 and sitting there, not dropping as it warmed up. What the @#$% ?
I doubt very much that it is that high in real life as the engine runs fine, doesn't use oil etc and with the oil sender read lower
So other than a dud sender, unfortunate in return terms as I'm in NZ ... any other thoughts from any one why this could be?
All other electrics etc work fine, always have - still do. Thanks J

...You have an engine in your car built by the Race Engine builder Jeff Hauser, it would be fitted with a High Volume Pump resulting in Higher pressure than a stock one, all these high performance engine builders Like Hauser, John Sleath, Dave Gilliver etc put high volume oil pumps in their builds.. you want high pressure, it's great, you shouldn't be concerned about high pressure in a engine built by a Drag Racing Man.. I talked about all this with my Race Engine builder Friend "Dave Gilliver" today, you also said when you had it checked "It's Right Where it Should be!.. it's confirmed
now drop the hood down, drop the roof down, push your foot down and enjoy that Hauser Built engine My Ole Fruit
