REFLECTOR: High Oil Pressure

[Laurence Coen]

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
