high oil pressure
new build 1914 by a good shop. if it has a high cb pump. The problem is on the start-up oil pressure is about 85-90 and the oil comes out of the dipstick. when the oil warms up and leaks to about 1 .75 quartz of oil; the pressure will drop to about 35.

Re: high oil pressure
Looks like the oil pressure is going down which is good
