You \u003cem\u003ecan\u003c\/em\u003e run more oil pressure than that, but doing so will subject you to the same limitations as the factory tensioner: over-tensioning the chain. The more oil pressure you have, the more tension you put on the chain. \u003cstrong\u003eOver-tensioning can cause the timing chain or chain guide to snap due to excessive force\u003c\/strong\u003e. The total load capacity of the timing system is reduced as you introduce more spring pressure, aggressive cam profiles, increase RPM and introduce other shocks like harsh limiters or poor harmonic damping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAt 80psi, we are confident this tensioner will not have the same reliability issues as factory units.\u003c\/span\u003e Our comprehensive testing program included such tests as revving to 6000rpm and hold on a harsh rev limiter instantly from a dead cold start.
