Scott,
The Oil Pressure has been marginally high from the start. I bought another VDO transducer and It produces a slightly higher reading. Last time up after a touch and go the oil temperature was about 180 but the oil pressure went to 80 PSI on takeoff. Is there an easy way to bring the pressure down a bit? Or ..., should I just not worry about it? As a side note, while on the ground I can bring the pressure down by goosing the engine.
I wouldn't worry about the high oil pressure. You can lower it by changing the spring on the rear relief valve.
