Isn't it odd and interesting how the designers of Healeys and their
component parts were able to get them to behave one way for one person, and
the opposite way for another person?

Subject: Re: [Healeys] oil pressure relief valve
I've never seen these gauge pulsations. However, I have often loosened the
fitting at the gauge on initial start up until oil appears, to get a good
reading. More than once, prior to bleeding off the air, I have seen
excessive pressure indicated at the gauge (80 to 90 PSI) until I bled the
air off, then got a good normal reading with relief pressures about 60 to 65
PSI.
I know this sounds opposite to the "air pocket needed" theory, but that's
been my experience.
