Some engine rebuilders remove the relief valve seat as part of their 
regular cleaning routine. A picture of the removed seat is here;

I brought this up because the seat could have moved or wasn't fully 
inserted into the relief bore. it's easy to image how this would upset 
the spring calibration, but I don't know what other implications it 
could have. Just another avenue to explore.
