Thanks Gerard,

I hope that's what we'll get when Chuck fires up my Dad's old semi-race 948 
motor. I remember him having pressure problems with it. It was good cold, 
but when it warmed up it always dropped. I remember him replacing the 
bearings a few times. I can't remember if he did the shim the relief spring 
trick tho. We'll find out, hopefully in a couple of months.
