    I'd just go the high pressure spring right off then adjust Hot Idle pressures with Oil viscosity if needed..

    Have you decided which spring setup you are going to use (Standard Pressure / High Pressure)?
    If you are putting in a double row timing chain the Oil Pump clearances can be a problem and a Melling pump may not be the right choice.
    Standard single Row Chain should be easy fit - there are some great guides on fitting the pumps on youtube.

    Would be very interested to see what Oil Pressures you get after the pump is changed out.
    Really a no brainer to go the heavier (higher press) spring as they do wear out & a bit of work to strip off balancer/cover to do again. Went for a single kit with new cogs to suit.

    Finally sorted out the ticking lifters - new Melling 10296 oil pump with the standard pressure spring - also fitted a Setrab 625 oil cooler and a 185 Deg F Thermostat for the oil cooler - all the parts came from improvedracing.com in the USA. The temperature is rock solid at two needle widths above 1/4 on temp gauge. The oil pressure is never less than 200 kpa even when towing, on a 40+ degree day and when stuck in bumper to bumper holiday traffic. Woo Hoo! Been in now for about 2 years very solid and stable performance mod!
