Jens....
What, pray tell, are you waiting for?
Install the oil pressure limiting valve NOW
and you will answer your own question! :)
The answer is probably yes. And MAYBE
it will also solve that puff of smoke you
get out the exhaust after driving from cold
a mile or so down the road? But have you changed to a fresh rubber
diaphragm
within the valve? And don't tell me the valve is new so you don't have
to!!! :)
Are you (per Guy's post) using the filtered
plastic oil filler cap as well?
Higher than required oil pressure makes for higher crankcase pressures
as well as more less effective lubrication.
You'd think it would be the other way 'round but it's not.
70+ is fine when the engine is initially started and all is cold. 60
"hot" by 3,000
rpm is what you are looking for.
The oil press. limiter will limit to whatever
is set, hot or cold.
