Increased oil pressure putting more stress on oil seals?
Thats my question. Would going with something like the RB 80psi oil pressure regulator increase the wear on the oil seals? A 15psi increase on such a small object seems like quite a bit of force to take. Any other thoughts on this?

RX7MFN- As quoted from RETeds site (FC3S-pro.com) "The higher oil pressure is needed for higher oil lubrication needs for more powerful engines. The rotor and stationary bearings are grooved, journal-type bearings. Oil helps to float the rotors and eccentric shaft (respectively) to keep them moving smoothly. Increased power output from the engine means more force transmitted to the bearings. With the higher oil pressure, this keeps the bearings lubricated and cool".
