    Default Is 98psi too high for oil pressure?

    I was rear ended friday, and long story short, I'm still figuring out what all is messed up. Im thinking the exhaust may be cracked/kinked.

    When i hit boost today (i eased into it, didnt floor it) the car didnt feel like it was pulling as strong as it normally does. Then my oil pressure gauge was at 98psi. Is it bad for the oil pressure to be TOO high?

    Did the crankcase vent come off or get pinched? Are you leaking oil anywhere?

    When Honda engines are hot they will have rather low psi at idle, around 10-15psi. Thats normal. And accel psi should go fairly high...98psi does seem a little high though.
