Hey Sim==If it does it only while the engine is running, the sending unit could be inacurate. You need to install a manual gauge to see what the actual reading is. If it goes to red before starting the engine the wire to the sending unit is probably disconnected. Good luckJoe

Will replacing the oil pump keep your oil pressure gauge from inching up toward the red zone?

Quite simply, extremely unlikely. The oil pump is a means of keeping the oil flowing to the vital areas of the engine. Real oil pressure is (for the most part) created by the main and big end bearings. I would double check your pressure by tapping into the sensor port with a mechanical gauge, you most likely have a defective gauge or sender. Your oil pressure should drop a little as the oil heats up and begins to thin out, not increase.

Why does a spinning baseball curve away from the trajectory it would follow if it weren't spinning?

The boundary layer of air next to the skin gets dragged around with the spinning ball, on one side its away from the direction of motion creating low pressure zone, on the other side its against the direction of motion, building a high pressure zone, the pressure difference pushes the ball from the high pressure to the low pressure zone.
