- Well, I'm going to have to ask this again, because even with the complete rebuild, the gauge is still acting up. I have a 72 'B', and when I'm cruising along with the oil pressure reading about 55 ps

- The oil pressure relief valve on the left side of the engine's job (we are talking about a "B" this time, aren't we) is to by-pass excess oil flow that the bearings cannot use. It is a very simple s

- The oil pressure relief valve, perhpas? A weak spring may be limiting the pressure to 55 or so. When you blip the throttle, the temporary increase in pressure causes the valve to open, relieving the
