Just because you increase the psi does not mean you get better flow. Its still the stock pump and cam plate with small oil ports..

Food for thought....

Im about to replace my lifters and was thinking of boosting the oil pressure, but have a concern that since I have some minor seepage from the cases between the eng and top of trans, the higher pressure will increase the leak, has anyone noticed increased leakage?

This is why I questioned the pressure. Only have 20k miles never a leak. 300 miles after cam change started seeing a small puddle of oil after a ride and it sits overnight. Working on degreasing bottom and bring up to temp and watch and wait...
