Yes, I'm hoping the swapping pressure relief valves and checking passageways will remedy.   Fingers crossed.

I still would suggest a mechanical oil pressure gauge if there is still doubt as to whether or not the pump is doing its thing, or kind of doing its thing, or not doing its thing. It would certainly rule out any issues

I never see oil moving around in the window on my bike. +1 on the gauge idea.

Yes well one wouldn't see moving around however one would see the level drop indicating movement.  Hooking up a gauge isn't a bad idea except the sensor is working and. It is achieving pressure.  Its my thought that the pressure relief valve malfunctioning is causing pressure to inhibit oil flow.
