Stretch the spring??? who told you to do so????????? NEVER but NEVER!

I must have miss something here... what is your problem?

One thing people don't seem to understand is that those engine are getting
old and a real low pressure problem is a possibility.

In the real world (just a joke) there is a gadget call a oil pressure gage!

That the first step to be sure that the engine is not the real proplem!

The high pressure one just have to be grounded to stop bothering you, but is
the sender the real cupid or the engine is craving for oil pressure???

The lower one just have to be left open to also stop bothering you...
