one reason for the higher pressure is because of all the special piston oil spray tubes in series, talk about pressure loss. this helps remove heat from the pistons, also I'v yet to pull the pan but ther may be a windage tray keeping the oil in the case away from the crank, so you need to keep the alluminum cylinders lubricated or els you'll have a bad day, this isn't a cast iron motor. those cyclinders are coated with a very thin layer of carbide or something. you need lots of luberication, to all parts of the motor, hence the higher pressure to feed all the oil ports
