so now that my new engine harness is in and all the gauges work as they should, i see that my oil pressure is way high when the car is cold.
i have the 1 - 5 bar(?) gauge for the oil pressure with the matching sending unit. when i start up the car cold, the needle pegs out at the top, slightly above the 5. it will stay there until the thermostat opens, which seems to be right around 200 F ... once the TStat is open, the pressure will drop to ~2 at idle and goes up to 5 under load/throttle. the real issue here is that on a rather cool day/night, like this morning for example, i drove for about 1 hour and the temp never got to 200 and the thermostat never opened. how long can i run the motor with that much oil pressure? what damage could i be looking at? any suggestions? ignore it?
