Thought I'd provide an update. I changed over the relief valve with an adjustable one but could only get it down to 75psi. Is this still too high? It's still leaking from the starter motor holes and has a decent drip from the hole at the bottom where the pin is in the transfer housing. Unless I should cut the spring back a bit more and get the PSI down more I am starting to think the oil pressure is not the issue. I welcome any more ideas...



Oil pressure has nothing to do with leaks.. The pressurised oil is inside the oil galleries with no access to the "outside".

A new engine can have high internal pressure due to less than ideal ring sealing. This pressure is what promotes the leaks. You might assist by increasing the number or size of breathers a way to reduce internal pressures...
