Lou,
You are running 50 lbs oil pressure, but only 5 or so lbs water pressure.
Could be a slight head gasket leak or something similar (most likely) or a
tiny crack (unlikely). Also, if this is the first time you have driven hard
after a rebuild or other major work, you might simply be getting the results
of cleaning up waste oil, etc. If it doesn't show in daily driving, try
retorqueing the head... It can't be too bad unless you are getting foam and
overheating and oil loss. (How DO you spell retorqueing? That just doesn't
look right!) Take care, Bill (Slightly Classics)
almost as many cars as dave in medford....
