<VV> OIL PRESSURE

[N2VZD at aol.com]

ANY suspected pressure issues , I start by checking real pressure . I use a 
 Clark's "adaptabolt" with a center feed oil pressure gauge screwed into 
it. It  is also on any new motors I build for at least 1/2 to 1 hour of 
running it in. I  like to see @40 lbs cold with my drill driving the oil pump 
before trying to  start it.
 I have had motors here with stuck regulator "pistons" causing very  high 
pressures on the gauge. Mostly on motors started up after sitting long  
periods of time.
Regards, Tim Colson     just fired up another nice  running " new" motor 
today.
