I'm not sure about the 24valves, however if the sending unit is anything like the one in the HPCR engines all it detects is 5-10psi max. what you see on the instrument cluster is a computer generated figure of what the pressure MAY be. the computer looks at engine RPM and figures up a best guess on what the pressure should be. so even though you see 40psi, you may only have 15psi. and it could be the transducer is working, the computer may have a brain fart and is not computating the proper value, or the actual dash gage is not working.
