2003 S10 high oil pressure


Recommended Posts

There is a pressure regulator on the oil pump, essentially a spring loaded relief valve. If it fails it can cause presure to rise dramatically. Oil pumps are pd pumps, they'll pump till they break something without a relief valve. This is a pretty dangerous condition, high pressure can cause a cam bearing to spin. Good luck. :rolleyes:
