Default Re: Oil pump "rebuilding"

do not think the engineers set the relief valve pressure too high. They set it high enough to open on a cold morning in Wisconsin, untill the oil warmed up.
Consider this: these engines have been modified to run in stock cars where the engine speed is at max for many laps. Run stock oil pumps and last for years, at least mine did, after I went back to stock.
