I believe the oil pressure relief valve is sorta on the underside of the motor? Or the side? I forget. I had the 1982 GS750EZ with 16 valve TSCC motor - so the same.

If the relief plunger is compressed by a spring.

Replace it with the same length standard bolt to preload the spring the same. Make sure the bolt is sealed against oil pressure somehow.

Or braze the old parts together and rethread...

Or best yet - just find a junkyard replacement.

The I believe only oil pressure relief valve is in the end of the oil filter...are you it is an oil pressure relief valve? It sounds like the engine oil regulator. I might be able to locate one on an old GS motor at North End Cycle here in Beaumont. It was there a while back when I pulled the oil pump gears out of it.
