[Laurence Coen]

Hiroo,

Here's a page from the Franklin manual as a reference.

  Larry,

  Thanks.  I had this nagging fear of something popping out in flight and 
spraying the countryside with the Mineral Oil.

  Incidentally, where did you set your yellow and red lines for the 
following engine parameters?

  CHT
  Oil Pressure
  Oil Temp

  Hiroo.

  The factory pressure regulator is set for 80 psi.  This is a spring loaded 
bypass valve and the fact that it is within 3 psi is quite remarkable.  The 
possibility that your indicator is off by 3 psi is also a factor.  I don't 
think you would need to be concerned unless you were running between 90 an 
100 psi.

    Hello folks,



    Now I have about 10 hours on my plane.  I have been observing that the 
oil pressure seems to be running a bit high.  Franklin factory manual says 
it should run up to 81psi and mine has been consistently about 83 – 86 in 
cruise settings.



    Is this something I should be concerned about?  Has anyone seen this 
issue?



    Hiroo
