    the oil pressure sending unit is probably bad/messing up

        Sending units are cheap and pretty easy to screw in. It is located just above the harmonic balancer. Keep your fingers crossed that you didnt spin a bearing. That can cause a spike in oil pressure also.

          hopefully it is the sending unit and is there any way of finding out if it is a spun bearing ? before hand?
