Priming oil system with drill on low speed and gauge soars past 160psi. The gauge I'm using I had on old motor so I mostly trust it. Gauge on old motor never went over 50lbs.
Now oil is leaking from oil filter. Thinking press damaged the filter causing it to leak. Drill barely turning runs gauge up to 70-80psi.
Whats the problem??? Oil pump is not bypassing....correct?
I did shim the by pass spring up 1/4-5/16"using a nut for a shim. No I did not put shim on wrong side of spring. Could I have reversed the by pass piston in front of the spring causing this condition?
Whats going on???
