Re: Oil Pressure Oddity
From: 
"JohnF" <n29cx@ridgeviewtel.us>
      
      
      I received the new oil pressure relief spring and installed it yesterday. The actual
      installation only took two minutes, but I spent a miserable 1.5-hours putting
      back the lower cowl. Since installing the new oil hoses the oil cooler doesn't
      "hang" as before and getting the bottom of the cooler notches to slip into
      the cowl's engagement 'knobs" is a real pain. I finally wedged a small soft
      foam ball between the oil cooler and the muffler to properly position the cooler
      so that it would engage the 'knobs'....but what a pain. Was able to reach
      in from behind to remove the ball after the cowl was on.
      
      I flew this morning....idle and taxi pressures 55-60-psi...in flight at 5030 rpm
      the oil pressure ran 45-psi, about 4-psi more than before....stayed there during
      the flight....upon landing and taxi it rose again into to 50-or-so range.
      
      I am going to live with this for a while before trying anything else...as Roger
      said, it might be an air bubble that might work it self out..
      
      More if progress is made.
