But realize that shimming or otherwise adjusting the spring only increases the maximum pressure in the system. It won't do anything to increase low pressure on a worn engine.

Installing a Oil Pump with "taller" pump rotors is the only way to increase the lower rpm oil pressure. Or adapting a larger pump from a different vehicle that has more "Volume" (Oil Moved) per revolution. The Modern Oil Pumps driven by the crankshaft vs the camshaft (Think LS Engines) have the same diameter and number of Voids for oil to fill, but can have a different Pump Gear THICKNESS per application to fine tune the proper oil volume at low speeds that Mr Hanlon refers to.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
