 Posted: Sat Jan 17, 2015 2:20 pm Post subject: Oil pressure at 145 psi |
 |
|
Cruze'n along with the trusty 912 ULS turning 4,800 RPM when I notice the oil pressure is pegged at 145 psi. The factory sez 73 psi is max. Smartly I execute a 180° turn and retrace the ten miles to the airport.
While taxiing back to the shadeport I goof with the throttle and see that the oil pressure rises and falls with the RPM, but by the time it gets to 4,000 RPM we're showing 100 psi. Inspection shows no leakage.
I'm hoping it's something cheap, easy and on top...
Any help troubleshooting this would be most appreciated... Thanks in advance.

If one of the wires to your oil pressure sender breaks you get a full scale high reading, so it is almost certainly a wiring issue. David Joyce + 914, which had similar issue a few years back.

Henry,
If your oil pressure sender is directly attached to the oil pump, it’s probably a dead or damaged sender. Vibration usually kills them over time.
Not recommending you do this, but I moved my sender from the engine block to the firewall and have a length of pressure hose from the block to the sender. So far, no problems.
Blue skies & tailwinds,
