Unfortunately, putting a different pump on an engine with loose clearances is like a band-aid on a bullet hole Between the two, if I had to try it, I'd go 10295 with the higher pressure spring....but the right answer is to get the right bearings in there for sure!

Gotcha! With better clearances, the 10295 will still work very well, but I'd run the lighter spring.
