[alberg30] Oil Pressure

[Shawn Orr]

From: "Shawn Orr" <Shawnwilliam at msn.com>

David,
My oil pressure reads 45 when she is at idle and jumps to sixty-five at full
throttle.  Could you send me details on adjusting the valves.

Also I need to know what the problem might be if there is low oil pressure
or high oil pressure?
