I'd like to see some pictures of this..

This is a good idea, but I have to think of the consequences in other parts of the engine. Squirters are effectively an area where oil "leaks" from the pressurised oilways, thats how they manage to do there job. At higher revs when the oil pressure is higher I dont see it being much of a problem, but at lower revs, especially idle I can see it becoming one.
Some squirters I believe have a check valve system that only allow oil to pass when the pressure is higher, so just drilling a hole in there is not an effective solution.

How will shimming the oil pump increase the oil pressure?
The image is not working
You need to shim the oil pump that's all

How does this work to shim the oil pump, and how should I do that?

Your rods are fine then. You remove the valve. Remove sure clip and fit a spacer of around 0.5mm and re assemble
Oil valve is on the block where the sump goes.
It is a really good idea to shim an oil pressure relief valve even in a stock build.
The 1E/2E/4E has a very small hydroplane surface on the big ends, this is really bad for performance engines.
These engines fails mostly because of that and forging helps nothing, sad but true
Have those rods notched and shim the oil pressure relief valve
There is a washer cup under the sure clip that the spring sits in, you want to put the spacer there between the washer and spring

where did you get this info from? toyota would have run higher oil pressure if it was needed on a stock engine. most engines are not wrecked because of this. if you run pressure that is too high it can cause more issues than it solves.
if you build the engine correctly with the correct tolerances you dont need higher oil pressure on a relatively standard build.
