I have had a few TR3a's and they have all behaved the same with oil pressure. i.e. around 70 to 80 psi at normal driving.
I just bought another one which has had a major rebuild some 2,000 miles back.
At start the oil pressure is 100psi which I consider to be too much.
After driving about 5 miles and engine hot it drops to the normal 70-80 psi.
Brand new electric Smiths gauge but also showed the same on the old Jaeger gauge.
20W -50 Penrite, new oil and new filter.
This 100 PSI reading seems wrong. Can anyone offer suggestions?
