Holy Schit !
Everyone else run this high ?
I think this would be a good poll. I'd like to see if I run a lot less than everyone else. I could be way off from the norm but never seen any issues. I've never run more than 80psi on anything even under full steam. Mid 7000rpm's even, That was not a boat though.
Yikes. Especially those idle pressures. Did I say 'Holy Schit' yet ?

For what its worth every boat I`ve had the oil pressure dropped quite a bit after a hard run, my current motors set off my 20psi warning lights.
K&N breathers always leaked oil, thought my answer was the baffled Teague breathers , still leave a mess, I currently have socks over em.
I tapped my oil fill and ran a line to the flame arrestor that seemed to help quite a bit. If I were to do it all over I`d run overflow tanks.
Then again its all a band aid for bad machining and blowby.
Your foaming oil is probably the same condensation I get under the valve covers near the front.
That`s what I get for buying a heavy old Cig. If it were an awesome Fountain the load on the motors would probably be half and all them problems would be solved.

OK, I know SB will find a way to bust my balls, (he has a knack for that 
), but I'll toss in my observations with my engine. Admittedly, I'm running a lighter oil than most of you (15W40 currently), and I am running the HV 10778C Melling pump. I usually see around 65 - 70 at idle cold, and around the same at speed. After a hard run it will drop down between 25 - 30 PSI when I pull the throttle back at idle. Blip the throttle and it will immediately jump up to 45 - 50 PSI.
If I was seeing 90 PSI I would be afraid of blowing the cover off of the oil filter!
