Mr. Bing
Here is what Don M. recommends on page 5-4 & 5-5 of the Moyer Manuel.
Dress up the seat of the regulating valve every 5 years or more often if necessary. Did you dress the seat as part of the rebuild?
Then readjust the OP to ~ 50 PSI cold idle then (more importantly) 40 PSI with the engine warmed up at your cursing RPM.
And on page 5-4: "As long as the OP at idle is ~ 1/2 the OP at normal cruise all bearings as well as the oil pump are in reasonably good condition."
Hope this helps.
