I'm pretty sure you're dealing with slightly loose rod and/or main bearings that are dropping the pressure at slow idle when the oil pump output volume is minimum. The pressure relief valve simply prevents overpressure when the pump speed allows it to produce much more volume than the engine needs for lubrication. Jerry
