The pressure is high,yes.But what about the oil that is supposed to drain back out of the valve cover area? Does it return to the sump like it is supposed to? Does it run over the valve springs to lube/cool them like it should. Does it cause the valve guides to lube properly,or run dry?Does the oil lay in the horizontal cylinder walls(which would really tax a set of oil rings)and does it ever splash onto the "top side" of the cylinder to give adequate lubrication? Just a few thoughts,probably over thinking something that I don't need to.
