Ok, new issue if you guys do not mind.

It seems I have high oil pressure on my engine.
When the engine is at idle, the pressure reaches the upper limit of the "green" arc and as soon as I increase the power, it continues to increase well beyond the 2.5kg limit.
At 100% RPM, it stabilizes at 3kg.

I know there is an adjustment on the pressure relief valve, but the engine was working normally before (it has been sitting for a couple of years, but I ran it a couple of time per years and all was normal).

It was suggested by someone in Korea that my oil vent may be blocked. I will check this next time I am at the hangar.

Any other thoughts?

Cheers,

Dan

Score one for the Korean again...

The oil vent was completely blocked!

Run up tomorrow and all should be fixed.

Thanks

The oil vent is the small vent on the left side where the tail meets the fuselage. There are two vents there, the oil vent is normally brown and the second one is the fuel vent/overflow/drain from the LP fuel pump and should be yellow in color.

On my airplane they are both painter the same as the aircraft on the outside, but as soon as you remove the lower access panel you can see the proper color coding.
