I do have more than 60lbs at 4250rpm (I have like 70lbs). I've been having oil pressure relief valve/spring problems recently.

This leaves me with a few possiblities. A) My gauge is reading low, and the oil pressure is really fine. B) Mechanic forgot to replace the spring from l; /html/mgs/1997-10/msg00740.html (8,426 bytes)

If you had a new pump and you are only getting 55 lbs pressure there is (was) a problem.

I'm kind of leaning towards a bum relief valve spring as the cause of the low oil pressure.

That's a problem with not doing it yourself. What size bearings did he put in. If he didn't turn the crank then they would have been standard size.
