Chris,
 
Thanks, the pdf is worth your weight in gold.  The culmination of years in the belly of the beast.  Marv should put in the LML ref material.

Danny,
No affect on gear movement.
I should add however that elevated high-side pressure is one of the contributing factors to gear extension failures in a standard system set up.  My low pressure setting is higher than the nominal 550 psi.  It is set to 800 psi to avoid the pressure spike that propogates through the system when gear down is selected.
see "Failure to Extend" on page 10 for more detail.

Chris,
What was the impact on the gear movement?

-took this photo after a descent from 16.5k to 1,500 ft.
OAT went from 42 to 94 degrees.
High Pressure gauge is pegged at 2,000+ psi
-Didn't get a photo, but the opposite happened on the ramp in Spokane. After sitting for an hour, the low pressure gauge was pegged at 1,200 psi+.  Spokane might not be the warmest spot in the country, but at 85 deg F, it was 55 degrees warmer than the cold soak on the previous leg.
Temperature changes have a big impact on system pressure.
