Just a note. The Katech pump pressure relief spring is not shimmed to increase oil pressure.

I installed the pump and my oil pressure was the same as stock.

I asked Chris at Katech about it and he said they stopped shimming the pumps since oil pressure varied from engine to engine. Some people had 80 psi with their shimmed pump some had 60 psi.

If you want to increase the pressure ask Chris at Katech about it and he will tell you what size shim to install.
