Dear Sir,
Would you please unsubscribe lgossett(at)ccountry.net from all future

I am breaking in a overhauled IO320. The oil pressure is above 100 until i warm up the oil and then it stays around 85. It was cold outside and it has aeroshell 100 straight mineral oil. Is there a problem? Thanks

LycomingEngines-List Usage Guidelines
******************************************************************************
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the LycomingEngines-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the LycomingEngines-List in the manner described below may result
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
LycomingEngines-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the LycomingEngines-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.
- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
- Occasional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularly
subscribed to a given List are considered acceptable. Posts by
List members promoting their respective products or items for sale
should be of a friendly, informal nature, and should not resemble
a typical SPAM message. The List isn't about commercialism, but
is about sharing information and knowledge. This applies to
everyone, including those who provide products to the entire
community. Informal presentation and moderation should be the
operatives with respect to advertising on the Lists.

Mitch,
That sounds fine to me.
After you have 50 hours on it and have switched to the oil you plan to use and it's still at 85 I would set it back to 75 or 80. But 85 is within limits.

Mitch,
I'm pretty sure that 100psi is the max you want to see.
I ran into similar problems with my recently overhauled 320-D2A even with 80wt. (For a while there I was throttling back to 2200-2300rpm on take-off to keep the pressure within the green arc - had plenty of power to climb anyway)
You are better off running straight 80 mineral for breakin.
Try changing over to that first, if you still are seeing too much pressure:
If your engine has the adjustable oil pressure valve (on mine it was at the rear top right side of the case) you should consider backing it off. If your engine has the fixed "derby cap" oil pressure spring setup, you'll need to get a replacement copper seal and remove some of the washers that are inside the top of the cap - or get a weaker spring)
I have been told you can actually have too much pressure and cause some problems with bearings floating. Not sure if that's actually true, but too high an oil pressure can cause leakage in a lot of places. Warmed up, 60-75 psi at cruise is what I would suggest is a good target for what you want. If you are breaking in, you will probably be operating at 2500rpm to work the engine enough!
Others with more credentials and letters after their names may have a different opinion, but this proved to be OK with my break-in.
Dave
(140 hrs on it now, running great)

Mitch:
A small problem.
Having oil pressure read high upon startup is normal. That is because the oil is COLD and THICK.
After it warms up the pressure will drop but should be around 90 to 100 PSI.
This is dependent on WHERE you are taking the oil pressure reading from.
At the back of the engine 90 - 100 PSI.
At the front of the engine 80 - 90 PSI.
The fix is easy - Just increase the pressure with the adjustment of the By-Pass pressure that is near the #3 cylinder.
Some adjustments have a threaded rod with a nut on the end and should be safety wired. Other require you to open the unit and install washers under the spring.
Ask some one at your airport to show you where and how this is done.
It is a little tricky because there is a check valve that you DO NOT want to lose or damage or get dirty.
