My take on the oiling system crossover tube for the small block

Dave can sit there all day long an tell you that's enough oil pressure but I sure wouldn't like it.
Personally I think there's something inside leaking off some oil pressure. Interesting how it goes to 50 lb and kind of stays there doesn't really go above it.
Maybe it has a 50 lb oil pressure bypass spring. But I would not think so.
Love the sound of your engine though.

Thanks, I love how it sounds too!
I was talking with Bob Mazzolini, he thinks because the lifter bores are not bushed, oil is leaking past those.
I may just run the engine as is, some say the pressure is okay, others question it.

I will find out when I put that HV oil pump along with a shimmed spring once I get it later this week. I dunno.
