Thank you for the replies
In this era when "New does not mean better" with vintage parts, this raises a red flag to me. Not mentioning the brand or source is troubling.

You will probably never notice any operational difference if the engine runs at 45 psi rather than 55 psi, but in my book, a quality rebuild should be back to factory specifications.
