Hi Guys,
I need your support concerning my engine which is IO360 M1A ? Catto constant speed propeller.
I try to fix the problem of low oil pressure 45-55 PSI in flight.
One idea came from my friend and is related with the governor adapter. On the attached photo:

you can see the current status. A part of oil pressure can be reduced by 2 holes on right and left side of the gasket (holes are not fully covered by the current gasket).
The idea from my friend is to close these 2 holes by the full coverage gasket ? to lose the oil flow across this part of the engine.
Is this good idea?
Any negative consequences for engine?
Thank you in advance.
