I noticed that the plug also had a pretty sharp edge (no radius) on the outside corners. I polished the OD of the plug by chucking it in a drill motor and polishing with progressively finer sandpaper and scotchbrite until I had removed all the score marks and obtained a mirror finish. Then I put a nice full radius on the corners with a file and polished those too. I greased it well, reassembled, and re-verified the alignment with the special tool. Started it up and the oil pressure was once again great. Good luck.

Monknomo, White944cup has a good write up here on his fix. He also used the alignment tool for the OPRV. Do you have this? I am concerned about the question you have about the last 1/8 turn of the OPRV. Something does not fit right. Of course it may just be a piece of grime on the threads that makes it hard to turn in. Check the alignment. Did you ever have the oil cooler seals replaced?
