This is not spridget related but thought someone may have a clue as to whats
going on. 1961 Metropolitan, engine freshly rebuilt 8 mo ago has about 5k on
motor now. The oil pressure was 80lbs when it was first started and after
running for a while it would drop to about 75lbs after running for a while.
Now after 5k the oil pressure when started is around 75lbs and drops to
about 70 after running for about 1/2 hour. These pressures are at idle or
operating speeds.
  Isn't this way too high and what could make it run so high??

Also looking for a Head for the same vehicle. Engine # is  15F-N-H-23124
1500 cc motor

Thanks
Leo
