Today i noticed the oil pressure gauge reading at the last mark before the red at the high end of the gauge . has anyone else had this happen . I'm hopeing that it is the sender unit that is stuffed.

Check the terminal on the oil sender first, clean it and reconnect.

I have a Hi-Vol oil pump in my EB with the std sensor. At idle i've got oil pressure like std, but when i get the boot into it, say 1800+ rpm, i'm not all that far off the red warning area. Still running the std oil pressure sensor, so the readings i believe are wrong.

Cheers
