Just curious, I've got a '56 TR3 with a later TR3A engine in her (don't remember the engine # right now). I don't have paperwork related to the engine change so I have no idea when it occured, but I'd guess the engine was at least freshened up (new gaskets, etc.) to possibly fully rebuilt sometime in the past. The car pulls strong and doesn't leak.
All this is background to my main question, can you have too much oil pressure? When I first start the car and am accelerating the oil pressure gauge is pushing the 100psi tick. At idle it'll still stay around 80. Once everything warms up the gauge still stays somewhere around 60psi in motion and drop closer to 50 at idle. So do I have a problem? If so, what could be causing it.
I've had the car ~2 years and it's always been like that.
Thanks,
Eric
