CAUSES? High oil pressure

Get a "real" oil gauge on the thing before you do anything else!!!

You said that it goes down a little if you step on it a little.
AND that it started doing it after a column change.
Did anyone else catch that?

It should go UP when you step on it, not down.

It's the guage. or the electrics that control it. (power, ground, ect)
