It went off the scale past 100 for the first few minutes, then gradually came down to 85. I did dome runups and taxiing. By the time the engine was really hot the (accurate) oil pressure was 65 at about 3000 rpm. I'm feeling a little better about this. Once I get accurate calibrated water and oil temp readings (my EM2 died) I'll do some high speed taxi tests to see if I can get the oil pressure and temps to misbehave. I'm beginning to suspect that the low pressure and high temp readings were erroneous. John
