car running again... oil pressure readings?
My oil pressure readings seem to be way to high, could I have messed up the sensor doing a head install? when I start the car up, or even before it is at or above 80psi. even w/ key in ignition off, it is already at 80psi+. I have heard maybe i ground out the sensor by accident? Any other things that would cause this?

it is always above 80psi, even w/ the car OFF. I am pretty sure that the sensor got re-grounded when I put the oil drain plug back in. any other suggestions? If my oil pressure is that high what is wrong? thanks
