The 4.0L in my MJ spikes up to 80 PSI once in awhile (mechanical gauge) then settles back down. 250,000 miles and it's done that for the 150,000+ that I've had it.
AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!

Car is still at the Rambler Ranch. I don't have the means to look into it where I am right now. I've been trying to raise the money for a rebuild, but haven't had much luck. I've thought about trying to figure out a way to have it trailered here, but I don't want to spend a ton of money just to get the car too me. We'll see what happens. Gonna probably be sitting at the Ranch until Summer.
