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.

 

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?

 

I have heard of this before .. but the cause escapes me at the moment .. It's a rare ocasion this happens


.

 

i think its the new gauge wiring.

 

using 10w 30 i believe. and its been about 500-750 miles since i did an oil change.
