The only problems I've ever had with the oil pump pressure relief valve is debris causing the the valve to stick an actually blow the oil filter off of the car (messy). You're low end (hot) oil pressure does sound a little low. One way to check the cam plug area is to get an oil pressure priming shaft and spin the oil pump with a drill. This will allow you to look down the distributor hole and see if a large amount of oil is coming from this area. I wired up an oil pressure sensor light in my race car that comes on if the O.P. drops below 30psi. This light stays on when I come back from a run (O.P.) usually around (20-25 psi) or lower at idle. I'm running a minimum of 0.0035 rod bearing clearance though.
