Paul -
If it's low when hot, it's probably not air in the line. To double
check, put a tester pressure gauge on the feed pipe mount on the
block.
By your description, I suspect you probably did replace the relief
valve spring, right? If so, you probably got one of the springs that
are floating around the repro market that is just a couple mil too
short. Many on this list have put a washer between the spring and
relief pig to fix this exact problem.
I'd start there, it's an easy fix!
