Humm.....I've got mine plumbed the same way as yours (Virginiafiretruck).....have close to 2000 miles on the engine....oil pressure is 25 at hot idle, 45 psi at 2000 (cruise) rpm's. I've cut my filters open to examine for FOD....some paint chips between outer tin case and filter media. On the 235, the passage from the pump to the gallery was plugged and according to my engine builder, the flow is directed from the front (new) port to the filter and back to the rear (enlarged) port and to the bearings.
I added an idiot light switch that goes to a buzzer to give me instant warning if I have a catastrophic line failure while under way. It sounds when the ignition is switched on and goes out instantly when the engine fires.
If anyone out there has information contrary to my hookup I sure would appreciate a "heads up!"
