Without erring on the side of caution, how likely do yous think it would be for there to be a decrease in oil pressure when using an S14 gasket on an S13 (see: O-Ring) pickup tube for SR20? My oil pressure is a bit low and I wasn't aware of there being a difference, yet I really don't see how the S14 flat gasket would do a poor job of sealing the S13 flange.

Edit: I'd like to add, just to save face, that I'm not trying to skip a step. I'm replacing it with the correct parts before running the engine, just wanna know how much I can look forward to this improving my condition.

Edit 2 Update: Replaced the pickup tube and gasket and my oil pressure is phenomenal now. All is good.
