   Re: my high oil pressure.

   Something still bothers me.  It seems to me that a bypass valve isn't
   supposed to open all the time.

No, that really is what it's supposed to do. Think of it as a
"pressure regulation" valve, not a "bypass" valve.

   BTW, I'm running Castrol 20W-50.  I suppose I could switch to a lighter
   oil but this seems like it would only treat the symptom.

This seems a little heavy for an engine in good condition. Any reason
not to go to 10W-40?
