I get what you're saying, but this bottom end has had two setups on it and over 5K miles of mixed driving. The S14 SR20DET setup prior never saw oil pressure this high and that was with a new S14 oil pump. The only thing that changed was the VE oil pump and the VTC oil galley blocked. Aside from the solenoid block relocation and associated lines, nothing else changed. I'm not seeing signs of bearing failure in the oil. I could drop the oil viscosity for an oil change to see if that has had a significant effect or not.
