OK, so I just drove my car for the first time today after it got a fresh rebuild and have a few issues at hand. The first thing is that I am having high oil pressure. I did do a balance shaft elimination kit but I still feel like its even high for that. I do not have an after market gauge but going off the stock one when i hold 3k-3.5k low throttle rpms its about 3/4 of the way up the gauge. Just wondering if this is normal and if it would hurt anything if i just left it like this.
Also i have an oil leak at the filter housing that no matter how hard i try it wont go away. I put on a new gakset with RTV and let it dry over night and still leaking. I thought it might be cracked but when i replaced the gasket the leak moved from the bottom of the housing to the upper part. Any ideas why this might still be leaking after all this? it only leaks when the car is on and takes about 30 seconds before it starts leaking. Could this have something to do with the high oil pressure?
