I recall my first MG having this problem. Replacing the pressure relief
valve spring may help bring the pressure up. However, for my 1964 MGB, it
was a sign of the end for the engine. The low pressure and the loud sound of
the engine served as indicators of worn rod bearings.
But what the hell. I replaced the engine with a stronger and faster engine.
It was worth it.
