318 - High Oil Pressure

Sorry for the late reply. Right after posting this I found out my Jeep was broken into last night. No damage and they stole some tools but I guess it could be worse. They tried to get the club off the steering wheel and failed.

Anyway, thanks for the input guys.

I do have a PCV and a breather, sorry I should have mentioned this because I found this during my research. When I disconnect the PCV, you can see the pressure coming out of the breather.

High oilpressure causes heat, possibly foaming, puts excessive force on the cam-gear and intermediate shaft.
80psi at hot idle in neutral is way too high. 30-50 psi is about normal, depending on oil and oilpump used.

What oil are you using?
Hope you're not running 20w50 molasses-oil in a rebuild engine.
10w30 should be good enough when engine clearances are correct.

PCV system installed and working properly?
Check for excessive crankcase blowby by temporary removing the pcv hose and watch what comes out.
It's possible the engine is creating more blowby than the pcv system can handle. Then it will pressurize the crankcase a bit and oil-vapour/drops comes out dipstick-tube and possibly front or rear crank seals.

I have been using Shell Rotella T6 5W-40 in the engine so far. Think this could be an issue?
