Ported oil relief pictures?

[LV-DSM]

Today I cranked my rebuilt motor for the first time and the oil pressure was over 100 PSI. I lost about 1/2 quart of oil from my turbo feed line that comes from a 90' filter housing. My BS is removed and I have new squirters. From what I understand, porting the oil relief valve should correct the pressure issue. Does anyone have pics or a working link that show how to properly do this? I've read plenty about it, but would like to see some pics to be sure. Please help! I don't want to blow a new 16G or any more gaskets. Thanks for any info.

Perfect! That's exactly what I needed. Thanks.

Damn I just installed mine yesterday and forgot to take pics! Make sure you run a hone through the piston passageway to be sure that the piston will travel smoothly. I not only ported the hole but also chose a sliiiiiightly less stiff spring to put in there as well.

I'll try that. Thanks for the info. How much of a difference did it make in pressure?

Good info.

Just wanted to follow up. After porting the hole, my oil pressure dropped about 40 PSI. Cold start idle is now between 50 and 60 PSI. Very good info.
