Subject:      TiiCo Oil Pressure
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1


Hi-
2 weeks ago I installed VDO Gauges in our TiiCo equipped '88.   Volts, Oil Temp., Oil Press.  I know that there were a few messages posted a short while ago about high oil pressure in TiiCo's.  The List generally thought this was no big deal.  Our O.P. has run @ 80 psi even at idle until warm.  Today is the first warm day around here for awhile. On the highway I glanced over and saw the O.P. gauge pegged, off the scale.  I'm guessing over 100 psi.
That's gotta be too high.
Questions: where is the pressure relief located? Is it in the oil filter indicating a bum filter?  At what pressure do I start worring about blowing fittings, blowing the filter or damaging the pump?


Thanks as always-


Gary
