I popped the heads off in order to remove the broken exhaust studs (one per cylinder)
(I wrote broken head studs....I meant exhaust studs) Stock camshaft has some strange wear patterns on it which might be part of the previous owner problems with the motor. Cam will be a 9600 grind from Rabys old store Intake planned is stock L-Jet, however I can be swayed to install Megasquirt (plenum or ITB) since I already have the Megasquirt. Exhaust is older European Racing Header. |

Back to your original question, I suggest you evaluate upgrading your oil pump (higher flow) in tandem with Tangerine's oil pressure relief valve upgrade.

Thanks, ordered the Tangerine Racing oil pressure relief spring upgrade. Only oil pumps i could find are the 30mm units: https://type4store.com/products/oiling-syst...hicles-486.html I also found an article for using the stock oil pump and making it better than as delivered: http://www.shoptalkforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=127097 |
