I have started up ok and repaired one oil leak from the rear main seal. I am now getting to work on the second oil leak from what appears to be the oil sender sensor unit on back drivers side of block. I am getting a high idle when it starts but sounds pretty good otherwise. I am thinking about getting bolt with the same threads or a after market oil pressure gauge. I have read these oil pressure gauges pop occasionally however I fear excessive oil pressure is causing it. What could cause excessive oil pressure? in a rebuild. rtv excess.? ps a 1 1/16th deep socket gets that guy out and a 1/2 " ratchet would be easier but not necessary from underneath.
