I think everyone is right and I need to swap to 10w30. Lots of smart guys on here even if some think asking for advise is " A silly complaint"
Actually I'm not sure why the Skip White paper work suggests 20w50 in the first place. But, I'm learning my lesson on their advise or lack of it.
Thanks

You may yet find that your oil pump gives you high readings. But if you know your clearances are within range to run 10w30, I'd recommend running it. 20/50 used to be the old school solution to having good oil pressure with bearing that had seen better days. Not sure why anyone would recommend 20/50 in a newly rebuilt stroker.
