We're neighbors. I'm seeing 120 PSI at cold start. It's about 115 in the summer mornings.

I was thinking bypass valve leaking, I couldn't imagine the orings leaking without having catastrophic events occur, vvt malfunctions if orings to heads leaking or rod knock if oring to block leaking.
Idk, I guess I'll just buy the new oil pump. I've spent way too much money on this thing already to let it blow up over not wanting to spend an additional $350.... I guess I was just hoping for some kind of confirmation. And heck while I'm at it I think I'm gonna grab a 15mm oil pump gear as posted about in another thread by "solidsnake11", as it would be even larger than the Reimax kit currently available I'd just have to get aspacer made which is no big deal
