The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.

VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

You could install a mechanical oil pressure gauge to verify pressure.

Your oil pressure gauge will indicate high oil pressure if one of the later high volume (80 PSI) pumps was installed during an engine rebuild.

Does your engine leak oil past the rear main bearing? Leakage at this point is a symptom of the high volume pump being used in an early engine.

I checked the dipstick and it is correct. The engine has only 1500 miles on it so there should be no sludge. The oil pressure on the gauge goes past the high mark while the engine is cold and is at higher RPM. When the car gets hot, the oil pressure goes down. I have found on this car there are many unique parts.

I had to have some rear end work done and all of the bearings, axle shafts, and the rest of the parts were different diameters than the US made cars. I had to acquire an different rear end to replace the old one.

You could have the wrong dipstick or your oil pan may have sludge in it which will throw the reading off. What oil are you using and what do you consider high pressure?

I have a 36 21 stud motor that shows in the documentation that the capacity is 5 quarts. However, I changed the oil and only putting in 4 quarts the dipstick shows that is too much.

The oil pressure is high with the motor running with just 4 quarts. This car was a foreign built model that has many different parts on it.

Does anyone know of a reason that the dipstick would show the oil being over filled with only 4 quarts in it and the oil pressure is showing very high?

Thanks

Rick
