Hello Jab list, I have not posted anything here before, but have on the
Zenith thread. I have a 3300 in my XL. From first start up the oil pressure reading
has shown 90 + pounds on the VDO gauge. On recommendation I installed another
sender unit that was supposed to be more compatible with the VDO. Still it
showed 90 + until warmed up and then at idle it would retreat to about 70 pounds
showing. I installed a temporary mechanical gauge and it showed about 65 to
70 pounds at rev and about 50 pounds at warm idle. So I suppose the electric
gauge is malfunctioning. Anybody seen the same thing ?. Best regards, Bill of
Georgia

Bill,
It could be a faulty oil pressure sender, so you should take it up with your
engine supplier if it's still in warranty or (probably less hassle) get a
VDO sender from your local auto parts store - they are a pretty standard
item.
Once you know you are reading the correct pressures, let me know and we'll
see if they are within normal limits. The numbers you gave seem a touch on
the high side but within limits.

Bill,
It would seem that the electric gauge is not compatible with the senders you
have tried. Since the mechanical gauge shows OP in the right range for a
new engine, I would strongly suspect some inaccuracy or incompatibility
between sender and gauge. It is odd, though, that the VDO sender you
installed would not be compatibie with a VDO gauge. Perhaps it is just a
bad gauge.
Pete
