    Oil Pressure?

    How much oil pressure should I have on this motor? It idols at around 60psi and jumps in upward of 75psi when running it hard. This seems kinda high to me what do yall think?

    If you can't eat it or hump it.
    Piss on it and walk away.

    Well yeah I have been changing the oil alot lately as I just got it running for the first time in a long while. But it hold pretty good even after it warms up. Didn't figure it was any reason for alarm was just wondering what was going on.
