I appreciate the discussion... now for my real world observations. A new spring has increased the oil pressure at idle compared to an old spring with 2 washers under it. The next test would be to try more washers under an old spring to see it that would bring the pressure up. Someone else can try that as I have already bought new springs for all my engines. I am using my old pistons with a chamfer "machined" into them. Machining was by using a belt sander.
