Reading  past posts on oils I have some thoughts concerning the use of the 
oil press  spring that increases the oil press to 60 lbs. My freshly rebuilt 110 
has this  spring and with a mechanical guage my oil pressure is 60 at idle 
and maybe a  little higher with some RPM. Is this to much pressure when used 
with some  oils? 


Pete, You will probably get some different opinions, but  mine that  this is 
way too much pressure for a street vehicle. Chevrolet limited to  pressure to 
about 40 psi. They knew what they were doing. Higher pressure just  creates 
problems such as heating the oil, and excessive wear.
