>Hi -
I took my '71 TR6 out for a spin last night and noticed that the oil
pressure
gauge was running high. I waited until the engine had cooled off and
checked
the oil level, but it was just right - neither too much nor too little, and
the oil was crystal clear. This is the first time this has cropped up -
what
are the possible causes? Please explain in simpleton's terms.

What's too high? 80 PSI? 100PSI? These pressures are not uncommon on a
cold engine. But if it peg's the meter even when warm then you have a
stuck pressure relief valve and this should be fixed before you blow out
the oil filter.
More detail please.
