High oil pressure on Ford NAA?

red tigers are very tough durable engines.... not uncommon to see the early 53/54 models still pumping along stron on all holes and lube system, untouched...

They have to be very durable. Not sure about great grandfather but my grandfather never changed oil on anything. He did grease stuff but thats it. From 1953 till now the engine only has 1 rebuild which is amazing considering all the hours it has on it with little maintenance. I can remember in the late 80's when i was a senior in high school and i decided to change the oil for the first time. When i pulled the plug lumps of grease were the first things out. I couldnt believe what i saw. Changed it again a few months later and oil was still black. However now when i change it its almost as clear as when i put it in.
