Just added it..it did not survive the initial posing! Apologies.
Yes, I know the clearances can cause low oil pressure. One of the previous owners rebuilt the engine, (I was told) and that is why I assessed the oil pump. I reasoned that if someone rebuilt an engine and the pump was "adequate" they probably would not have replaced the oil pump. My initial approach was to see if the oil pressures were seriously beyond spec and if so, replace the oil pump. If that did not work, a bottom end rebuild would be necessary and upon completion, both causes of low oil pressure would be addressed.
