Hey gents, yet another question. I have a VDO 80 psi electrical oil pressure gauge in my car, and the recommended sending unit, obviously when engine is cold and I fire it up, it reads the full 80 psi value, once its warm, while I am driving it stays pegged, but at idle it does come down to 35-40 psi, I had all the Tim Meyer oil mods done to this engine, and lifter bushings. Will these mods cause a higher than normal pressure? The problem is the needle now wants to "float" above 80 psi in almost all rpm ranges above idle. The oil pump is a stock pressure/volume pump, and I don't blow filters anymore, just have high oil pressure. Is this bad?
