So it appears the duration of fuel injection is either 39 or 40 degrees of
crank rotation, depending upon engine vintage.
This duration is mechanically fixed by the way the FI pump internals are
machined.
And the various methods of setting the injection timing adjust either the

If this is the case, replacement of the oil filter housing will fix it.
The valve seat can score, as well, dropping idle pressure drastically.
Usually doesn't cause trouble with higher rpm oil pressure, though.
