I just put my motor together again, new oil pump, bearings, reground crank etc. It's a Pinto 2 liter style SOHC motor and it's in my 71 ITB Capri.

I have 60psi oil pressure at idle and over 100psi when really revved with a warm motor. Bearings are properly clearanced, .002 to .0025 mains and rods. It sounds like the pressure relief valve on the oil pump is stuck and I just do not want to take this motor apart again. I've put in 10-30 oil and I'll see if the pressures come down.

Anybody have any easy ideas? I've been having too much oil pressure for some time with this setup but with the new oil pump, it is much worse. If I enlarge the oil holes for the spray bar that oils the OHC, will that lower my pressures but create too much oil to the top end?
