Jim...........They do indeed exist...........different springs are
available, to relieve
or increase oil pressure (somewhat). Still won't replace worn out bearings
though.
I run a cooler & rocker arm feeder with the shorter/stronger spring. I get
about
75-80 lbs on a hot summer day cruising down the highway.
