I'm having wierd things going on with my oil pressure. I'm 98% sure it's
a problem with the relief valve. On occasion, the pressure will run only
about 30 psi even at high rpm, and when I turn the screw all the way in,
the pressure doesn't change. On other occasions, the screw will actually
change the pressure like it's supposed to.

Further info: new rods and mains, new cam bearings, no leaks.

Also new spring in the relief valve, no visible defects on the ball, no
defects that I can see in the valve but of course that's hard to
see.And, of course, new valve assemblies don't seem to be available.

Any good advice?
