what in the hell would cause 150psi of oil pressure on my 86 22re.?

i kno im being vague in details.

buuuuut. i started it and drove it for abt 2 seconds and looked at my manual pressure gauge and it was at abt 150psi and the stock sr5 gauge was up just 1/8th to 1/4 inch above horizontal.

The pressure relief valve is stuck? Mine never goes higher than about 80 psi.

The manual gauge went to 150?
Easy- bad gauge / bourdon.

nope. switched the manual gauge with another one and another one. still did the same thing. 150psi.

just call me smithy

have you done an oil change lately? oil viscosity will change the psi, r you using the recomended oil?

How much honey have you added to stop those oil leaks?
