Narrative:

After a 4 hour delay, flight departed. Climbing through 10000 ft, #1 engine oil pressure jumped to 75 psi (60 psi maximum allowed). At idle, oil pressure read 65 psi. Engine shut down per operations manual. Contacted company operations, they directed overweight landing back at ypsilanti. GS was inoperative on runway 5R. Visual approach was uneventful, but on landing rollout only #2 engine reversed when commanded. The landing roll almost used more runway than was available. #1 engine had just been changed, and more than 10 other significant write-ups had been cleared. I strongly believe that a test flight should have been made to check out such a large number of repairs.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: DC8-55 CARGO ACFT CLBING THROUGH 10000 FT, #1 ENG OIL PRESSURE WENT TO 75 PSI, 60 PSI MAX ALLOWABLE. AT IDLE DOWN TO 65 PSI. SHUT ENG DOWN AND PER DISPATCH REQUEST RETURNED TO YIP. LANDED OVERWT. ONLY #2 ENG WENT INTO REVERSE USING MAX RWY TO STOP.

Narrative: AFTER A 4 HR DELAY, FLT DEPARTED. CLBING THROUGH 10000 FT, #1 ENG OIL PRESSURE JUMPED TO 75 PSI (60 PSI MAX ALLOWED). AT IDLE, OIL PRESSURE READ 65 PSI. ENG SHUT DOWN PER OPS MANUAL. CONTACTED COMPANY OPS, THEY DIRECTED OVERWT LNDG BACK AT YPSILANTI. GS WAS INOP ON RWY 5R. VISUAL APCH WAS UNEVENTFUL, BUT ON LNDG ROLLOUT ONLY #2 ENG REVERSED WHEN COMMANDED. THE LNDG ROLL ALMOST USED MORE RWY THAN WAS AVAILABLE. #1 ENG HAD JUST BEEN CHANGED, AND MORE THAN 10 OTHER SIGNIFICANT WRITE-UPS HAD BEEN CLRED. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT A TEST FLT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE TO CHK OUT SUCH A LARGE NUMBER OF REPAIRS.
