On Friday, I took the RP to Llangollen to collect Leon from a friends house. On. The way there, the oil pressure suddenly went to about double what it should be. So I stopped and checked that the big end jets were clear. That didn’t cure the problem, so I checked to make sure that oil was coming out of the forward plug to make sure the gallery itself wasn’t blocked. Covered the engine in oil in doing so, but, yes oil was coming out. I collected Leon and, on the way back home, the gauge settled down to reading between 2 and 4 lbs psi but this morning, it began reading high again.
As you all may be aware, the engine has been down to cure a little end noise very recently, so the engine is internally clean and has fresh oil.
My question is:- is it possible for the gauge to fail in such a way as to read high, or am I going to have to look for some other cause of the problem?i
