[TR] tr6 woes part 8

[Dean Tetterton]

         I would take a look at the oil pressure relief valve spring.
I had a new engine that dropped pressure to around 10 lbs
when heated up. I had put in a new spring and ball. Put the
 old spring back in and no more problem. Don't know if
the new spring was hanging up when hot or lost tension.
Easy to change and try.
