warren,
That 75lbs of oil pressure is about 25 lbs. more than the factory
wanted..Pull out your pressure relief spring AND ball and see why it is not
working properly..you should have about 55 lbs MAX aftter the engine is at
poerating temp. at about 2000 rpm..any more and you know that the pressure
relief system is jammed up and not releasing.
