@ZeeOSix yes and no. I see this argument all over the oil filter part of this forum.
I don't know if people know this, but the oil pump gives 0 f's about PRESSURE unless it's about to go in relief. All it cares is about flowing a set amount at a set rpm regardless of pressure unless it's about to save itself from Going into relief.
Removing any restrictions in the oiling system will make the pressure of the entire system decrease as there is no impediment to flow.
Pressure is nothing but a restriction of flow.
Nobody had a issue and keeps pointing to the bearings. Is the pump flowing the same???? Yes. Are loose bearings essentially a form of increasing flow due to being loose and oil flowing past??? Yes. Can pressure drop due to lose bearings while flow out of the pump being the same??? Yes.
And yes, the oiling mods are significant, especially with that block and THAT PUMP. Unless you screwed one together, then you don't know.
Everything works in theory. In application and different forms of applications, it doesn't always.
