Shim for increased Oil Pressure

Yes, pull the spring out of the dogbone and place dime stack inside the opening of the dogbone. Use some petroleum jelly to hold the dime stack together and in place so you reduce the risk of dropping them into the oil pan if you don't move it completely out if the way.

REMEMBER always perform things at your own risk, like Rawze I am so full of $h!t my eyes and hair are brown!!!

I used 7 Canadian dimes and running Castrol Hypuron S/S 10W30 and no gear oil for a true side by side comparison I am running 41psi @ 210* oil & 39psi @ 230* oil full pull, fan engaging e water temps at my downshift rpm of 14-1450. That is up from 36 & 34psi respectively using the same brand and grade of oil.
I'm quite happy happy with the results so far. I believe I will pick up 1 maybe 2 psi when I switch back to the advised Rotella 15W40 and Sta-Lube 80/90.
I am a huge fanboy of Spinner Byoass filters and have always hated that the ISX pressure is too low to run one. I believe I will be putting one one now. From my memory the Spinner lowered the oil pressure about 2 or 3 psi on my Series 60's, so I may add one or two dimes to get that back. For now that is just speculation and I will post results if/when I go that route.
