As you know, more to oil pressure than just the pump. Did you change bearings, or grind the crank? Also, if you want a little more psi, you can run a little heavier oil.

Nope, everything is the same except oil pump.

The purple spring for the melling pump is a 70 psi spring, the yellow is 60 and then you have the longer purple with its extended housing that's 80 psi. All cast oil pump housing are the same.
