Leland, When I built engines, they were to spec. I would assume that this engine was also. I know he put in a new oil pump, because I remember some on this forum telling him to weld the pickup tube to the pump. which is something a good mechanic would never do. there is a problem with a new rebuild, that has a new oil pump and has low pressure. with the engine up to spec and with a new oil pump, 10 pounds of pressure is not exceptable. most engine rebuilders will tell you it is because they don't want to re-lick that engine. easy to say, it's fine,go ahead and give it he!! and hope it gets through the warranty, which it most likely will. But shims under the spring of a new pump is not the way to go. there is a problem with the engine,or in the pressure gauge. Either one should be addressed.
