I have a 1967 110HP with? oil pressure & oil temperature gauges, both VDO electric. The pressure sender has an auxiliary ground.



When running, and the oil temp is about 180 degrees, the pressure runs between 25-27 PSI, and stays there, even if the oil temperature rises to over 200+ degrees. Since the factory spec is 35 PSI, is the lower oil pressure at risk of damaging my engine? 



I also would like to know if anyone has had experience with the higher pressure relief springs sold by Clarks? Is there 



a greater chance of oil leaks, particularly around that complex casting where the oil filter is attached?



Thanks for any feedback.
