High oil pressure

Just put your thumb on it and see how much pressure it builds up. Also give it a bit of throttle (by pulling the throttle lever off course) and see if it blows out much smoke. If you get lots of pressure, and lots of smoke then you can be certain that some piston rings have broken. If it's not blowing hard from the ventilation hose then it's probably fine.
The best 4AGE I have ever seen had almost no air blowing out of the PCV (crankcase ventilation) and ran smoothly and quitly at 500 rpm, so it is a pretty good indicator of the state of the engine.

Hey Ivan thanks! I did what you told me and there was a lot of pressure coming out of the valve covers, but there wasn't any smoke.
I'm now testing the oil consumption. Drove 550 km and almost as much oil in it as before.. Lets test it at 1000km.
