Ok nevermind, I think. I put in the new one (without the metal ball) in the following order: pin, spring behind pin, washer on the bolt (between the nut and motor), and bolt (screw). I tightened it as far as I could. Upon first start (cold start), oil pressure read 30 then up to ~39 in the first minute or two and then slowly decreased to ~10 after about 30 min.
I stopped the engine, adjusted the valve by unscrewing it about a quarter of the way out and started again (hot start). It’s been ten minutes and the gauge is at a steady 8 or 9 the whole time.
Should I unscrew it more or screw it in more?
