Tyson,
Thanks for the kind words. Mine was revving about 4250 when the
problem started.
One other thing I've been thinking. With the heavy-duty oil pump
and uprated relief spring, I was kind of expecting to have higher
than 55 psi on the highway. I wonder if it's possible that something
was missed during the rebuild, and the high-flow pump was the only
thing that kept the pressure from being abysmal up till now.
