    A few oil related Questions

    I overfilled my 72 t
    and the stick reads above the top mark. Is this something I should be concerned about or let it be?
    Second, although my engine was rebuilt at 110 k current 120 k oil pressure when warm is only 60 psi at 4k rpm. Seems low
    at idle its like 20 psi.
    lastly, what is a good temp to begin aggressive driving? ie above 5 k rpm?
    thanks to all of you who have been there .
    I'm still a lost ball in the tall grass.

    Overfilling risks dumping oil into the air cleaner and making a mess of things. Drain a little out. 60/20psi when hot at 4K/idle is OK. You should see ~100psi at cold start at 3K RPM. If not, someone may have put in the later model relief spring. Wait until oil reaches 175F before aggressive driving.
