There is no place in the world you can get the help you can get from this site.  These guys go overboard to help.  It has been a support group that is making my rebuilding experience with my 82CE a lot less scary.   It is the best money you will ever spend.  Guys have pointed me towards eBay for good buys, answered repair issues.  Now I will get off my soapbox on how great this site is.  Of course any site is only as good as the people that are part of it.

NEW ENTRY C3s, Spend the money, stay here. You will NEVER regret it. Besides, how much info and a smile with the family unit can you get ANYWHERE besides here. Get in on a gathering and confirm it for yourself. Afterall Plastic will get you everywhere. Its made from PETROLIUM, look where thats got us.

Gurtz,  my zz4 crate also runs high oil pressure, around 75 psi at start up, 40 to 50 after getting hot,  been like that since i got it 4 years ago..or, was it 5..?? 

My ZZ4 also runs 80psi then runs at 60-80 when warm.

10-4, gentlemen!  Thanks for the info!  I feel mucho better!!

 gurtz,  my understanding is that a lot of chrome on an engine while cause the oil pressure to get dangerously high. You might want to consider pulling some of that stuff.  It just so happens however, the oil pressure on mine is pretty low.
