The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the LycomingEngines
-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the LycomingEngines-List in the manner described below may r
esult
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
LycomingEngines-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the LycomingEngines-List is to provide a forum of discussion
for
things related to this particular discussion group.- The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation.- Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List.- To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level.- Do not submi
t
---posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, lo
ng
---lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- THINK carefully before you write.- Ask yourself if your post will be
---relevant to everyone.- If you have to wonder about that, DON'T s
end it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
---that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate.- Try to be con
cise and
---terse in your posts.- Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
---responses.
- Keep your signature brief.- Please include your name, email address,
---aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location.- A short lin
e
---about where you are in the building process is also nice.- Avoid
---bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
---space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
---easily obtainable from other widely available sources.- Consult
the
---web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
---your response the same as that of the original post.- This makes
it
---easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
---response.- DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in"
the
---reader to the topic at hand, but be selective.- The impact that
---quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
---can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
---then go ahead and reply to the List.- Be aware that clicking the
---"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
---response to the original poster.- You might have to actively add
ress
---your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
---to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal.- "Way to go!", "
I
---agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better se
nt
---to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
---comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
---contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
---polite and respectful.- Don't make snide comments, personally at
tack
---other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
---controversial issue.- This will only cause a pointless debate th
at
---will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
- Occasional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularly
---subscribed to a given List are considered acceptable.- Posts by
---List members promoting their respective products or items for sale
---should be of a friendly, informal nature, and should not resemble
---a typical SPAM message.- The List isn't about commercialism, but
---is about sharing information and knowledge.- This applies to
---everyone, including those who provide products to the entire
---community.- Informal presentation and moderation should be the
---operatives with respect to advertising on the Lists.

Mitch,
I'm pretty sure that 100psi is the max you want to see.
I ran into similar problems with my recently overhauled 320-D2A even
with 80wt. (For a while there I was throttling back to 2200-2300rpm on
take-off to keep the pressure within the green arc - had plenty of power
to climb anyway)
You are better off running straight 80 mineral for breakin.
Try changing over to that first, if you still are seeing too much
pressure:
If your engine has the adjustable oil pressure valve (on mine it was at
the rear top right side of the case) you should consider backing it off.
If your engine has the fixed "derby cap" oil pressure spring setup,
you'll need to get a replacement copper seal and remove some of the
washers that are inside the top of the cap - or get a weaker spring)
I have been told you can actually have too much pressure and cause some
problems with bearings floating. Not sure if that's actually true, but
too high an oil pressure can cause leakage in a lot of places. Warmed
up, 60-75 psi at cruise is what I would suggest is a good target for
what you want. If you are breaking in, you will probably be operating at
2500rpm to work the engine enough!
Others with more credentials and letters after their names may have a
different opinion, but this proved to be OK with my break-in.
Dave
(140 hrs on it now, running great)

I am breaking in a overhauled IO320. The oil pressure is above
100 until i warm up the oil and then it stays around 85. It was cold
outside and it has aeroshell 100 straight mineral oil. Is there a
problem? Thanks

LycomingEngines-List Usage Guidelines
*************************************************************************
*****
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the
LycomingEngines-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the
rules therein.
Failure to use the LycomingEngines-List in the manner
described below may result
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
LycomingEngines-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the LycomingEngines-List is to provide a forum
of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. The
List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to
deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster
camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching
these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every
member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been
established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do
not submit
posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random
humor, long
lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post
will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that,
DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an
archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to
be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts
and
responses.
- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email
address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A
short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice.
Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume
unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that
info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources.
Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:"
line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This
makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in
your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help
"tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact
that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the
archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally,
DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that
clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily
send your
response to the original poster. You might have to
actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have
something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to
go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are
better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at
large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you
need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can
truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your
tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments,
personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an
obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless
debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
- Occasional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularly
subscribed to a given List are considered acceptable.
Posts by
List members promoting their respective products or items
for sale
should be of a friendly, informal nature, and should not
resemble
a typical SPAM message. The List isn't about
commercialism, but
is about sharing information and knowledge. This applies
to
everyone, including those who provide products to the
entire
community. Informal presentation and moderation should be
the
operatives with respect to advertising on the Lists.
