Try Mr Hoovers suggestions:

And ditch the valve seals. If your guides aren't knackered you dont need them in NA situation...not sure if you are on boost, in that case:

Lanner hi, thanks for the info.
1. No matter what oil pump I choose, the circuit.
2. It must get filtered
3. It MUST REGULATE, this is something that all agree on;"the unpredictable pressure relief valves is due to dissimilar expansion rate of metals". Magnesium and steel expands differently. Then, there is the very small amount of oil in the sump 3.5 quarts. 24psi@2500 rpm is stupid.
Once operating temp is reached, it supposed to be guaranteed 17psi @idle. My two cents say it's a crap shoot if everything gets its needed amount of lubricant. The guides only get lubbed by flickering oil droplets from the rockers, that's fine for stock.
Do 70mph for about 30 minutes and then get caught in bumper to bumper traffic, and watch the low oil light come on and temp rise. I've been there did that.

Jay-cee enterprise has a bi-pass fitting, along with the needed circuit plugs bi-pass the stock regulator circuit, look on his site. His filter base has a regulator built in. I am not going to use the stock oil cooler either, grommets won't hold the pressure; so yes to a remote cooler.
I truly believe the stock stuff need to be kept in the stock arena.

Sorry, the whole lubrication circuit needs overhauling, enough of the bandages. We are going hypo on this whole engine, and believing the oil circuit is ok as is nah
