Do some searching. I believe the spring is NLA, and I recall some discussion about trying to determine a suitable replacement.

Why do you want to replace it? If you dont have enough oil pressure, whack a shim under the spring. While your there, check the condition of the bore. If it is worn out of round the piston can get stuck which could cause too much or not enough oil pressure.
