Correct for how the spring sits on the ball, bore length, then depth (spring rest) in cap nut. Just seems like it would be easy.

Clay
I took some of those measurements:
a) Edge of regulation Ball to spring nut mounting surface 1.070"
b) Spring free Length 2.300" (My spring was 2.292")
c) Nut mounting surface to pump = .280"
d) Depth of oil spring pocket on the nut = .443"
f) Pump cover height = .625"

So you have all of those different dimensions, all capable of changing during production.

Luhn Performance actually built a 'Oil Pump Dyno' tester that seems to work well and can hit a oil pressure number really close. I believe that they did some actual shim thickness testing and know what a real shim does to the oil pressure.

Might want to call them
