<VV> Replacing Oil Pressure Regulator Spring

[BobHelt at aol.com]

Tom,
It's not the oil pressure spring. Unless the oil light is coming on, It's  
OK. 
If the light is on, install a high vol oil pump.
Regards,

My  recently rebuilt 95HP engine is only registering 5 psi oil pressure
at 500  rpm after a highway run. My first attempt at fixing this issue
will be  replacing the regulator spring. Do I have to drain the oil to
do this or is  the spring's level above the normal oil level?

Thanks,
