Subject:TiiCo, high oil pressure
From:Sean B.

Hey volks, I've got a VDO oil pressure gauge hooked to my TiiCo. It shows
about 25-30# of pressure at idle. I've got about 5k miles on the motor.
Before I put the motor in the bus, I installed a windage tray between the
block and oil pan. In order to install it, I had to remove the pickup tube
for the oil pump, fit the windage tray, and reinstall the pickup tube.
Would over-tightening the oil pump pickup tube slightly cause the high oil
pressure, or is there something else I should look at?
