elmariachi,
I agree with you 100%. It get s to the point that you just have to feel confident with what you or your builder has decided for the build and run with it.
Rick,
When speaking to Doug @ PO he said the spring kit would not make a difference at idle. I have also heard that these motors should not remain idling for too long also.
I am running the HV 57 which is a high volume oil pump. I was thinking alot of comments are said about you should have this much psi but nothing about volume. With increased psi you will lower your volume and vice versa.
My clearances are as you suggested above and the crossed drilled on the crank I have heard does not make a difference with oil psi.
Have you noticed by changing the spring or adding a shim that the pressure increases at idle?
I guess I will look more into the cross drilling of the crank.
