At what pressure does the oil relief valve kick in and what is too high of a pressure reading?
When the engine is at temp, I have proper pressure readings but on a cold engine they seem high to me. Cold idle 40psi and if I have to accelerate hard I've seen it up to 60psi. Pump was resurfaced & valve was cleaned 2 yrs ago when I did the top end. Both gauge & sender are VDO.
