oil pressure. too much?

[jbsoukup]

so, is it possible to have too much oil pressure, and if so, how much is too much and what are the consequences?

j, the biggest enemy of to much pressure is all of the heat generated by the extra pressure. This heat adds to the rest of the heat the oil absorbs that radiates out through the pan. This heat will also break down the oil faster.

35~40 psi at speed is fine and 20 at half throttle is good. Any more is just not necessary on these A-4's.

This doesn't address all of your questions, but Don asked me to post it.
