TMX IO360 high oil pressure
New engine installed and have been backing out the oil relief valve to lower the oil pressure. Have backed it all the way out to the stop and it will still generate over the 95 PSI red line at run up until the oil temp hits 140 degrees. Still runs at 80 plus once at operating temp in cruise. Biggest issue is getting oil temp up for take off before cyl head temps get past 375 and then trying to keep them below 400 on climb out.... thoughts? Currently have 40 hours on the engine. I have confirmed pressure with a manual gauge ported in.
