I've seen the picture and details a hundred times and now I can't find. (Nope, not in Blower) What is the correct clearance (with feeler gauge) between idler gear, pump spindle and oil pump body for PA? Blower says same pump for P,F,K,L, KN & N. What's the correct pressure for by-pass relief valve spring? Any sources of replacement spring on this side of the pond? I have 45-50 lbs. oil pressure at cold start but continuous driving shows falling pressure... and at temporary stops, it rapidly drops dangerously low at idle... and constant "blipping" of the throttle is required to keep it above 5 lbs. Scares the hell out of me. Any thoughts? Am I looking in the right place for starters? Thanks Don B.

I can't help with the spring pressure, but that doesn't (shouldn't) control the oil pressure. It only controls the pressure at which the oil is dumped back into the sump without going through the pump. The springs are cheap enough so I'd replace it as a matter of course. The biggest cause of loss of pressure is the bearings (rod and main) and the eccentrics in the rockers opening up. I assume nothing else has changed like leaving out the oil metering pin or the like.
