Have any of you guys running high oil pressure...

By Dan Davis - 07/13/2002 4:00:15 PM; IP 65.59.32.117

...FEs (I have heard they like 80+#s) had any problem with distributor gears? I have checked everything that can be checked (front cam bearing, oil flow, gear height & mesh, dist end play), but I cannot find a cause for an eaten gear (less than two hours run time).

I have 100+ #s of OP at cold startup w/10W30, coming down to 60#s at warm idle. I am thinking that I need to trash that high pressure OP spring and go back to the OEM spring.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Dan
