I would also like to hear about any fixes/thoughts.
Exactly the same thing has happened to a friends 505 engine. The engine has not come apart yet but I will post here if we find anything definite.
Start with anything that can load the crank in the direction the wear is - assuming it is only...
In the Melling instructions it warns you check hole in the cap will accept mounting neck of the pump.
Check for burrs on the bearing cap.
Carefully file down the oil pump until it drops fully in to position. Be careful to keep any metal out of your new engine.

If the valve is too shrouded it will restrict flow.
Be careful not to grind until the head gasket is compromised or you weaken the top of the block.
No the source vacuum and the reading would be the same.

The KB brand seem to work fine and are available in many oversize's.
Most gear sets will have a little noise at some speed or other.
And I agree with earlier post the sets are not as good as they were - but at least you can still buy them.
I believe it is down to were does it make noise - and can you live with it.
