I have a TR4 and had similar numbers with Brad Penn 30wt break in oil (a yea=
r ago). Bentley manual fas the specs for setting the relief valve- 72 lbs at=
 3000 rpm?. I'd wait until after the break in period. I did adjust the relie=
f valve screw but in the end it came out pretty close to where it started. I=
'm running 20w50 now.
