Going back almost 20 years ago, I bought several rebuild kit for Patric's. This included everything including the oil pumps. # of the 40ur pumps had to be replaced. Patric's stood behind them. However I had to send several people Ford pumps for replacement. After receiving the pumps from Patric's i built a test fixture and teste them 2 were OK , one had a bad relief. At the tome I posted theis on the old Ford forum and found at that time many others had trouble with the pumps and there was a write up in a restoration Magazine about the pumps, I knew the outher, he said just send the pumps and they'd replace them, but offered no explanation of the problems. I know that JWL had mad some test as well. Since then I disambel the stock pump and check it out for wear. Most check OK so I just use them.
I'm glad to see they've checked into the problem and have solved the problem. But I distrust them. A oil pump is a very inexpensive part of a very expensive engine
