The extra oil pressure sounds a little odd. I'm wondering if the pickup inside the pan was tilted at an angle or something.
It definitely changed for the better. I think that straight up fitting with the high oil line was causing the oil pump to work extra hard and the head pressure was causing the lower oil oressure.
Before the fix, I had 72 psi cold and now I have 88psi cold. Going to start the car tomorrow morning to see if the prime still works.
