Silly question for today

Ahhh, NOTHING like fresh bread.
Beautiful!

Anyway...In the body of the oil pump, there is a little spring, with a small ball bearing on the end of it, that sits in behind a little split pin. This is the pressure release valve. If too much pressure/oil is being forced through, the spring will depress & the excess oil will flow back through. Trick is, get a couple of little washers, the same diameter as the hole where the spring/ball bearing are & put them in behind the spring. This basically makes the spring stronger, so MORE pressure is needed to activate the bypass effect. Get my drift?
BUT, like I said, you have to have the oil galleries opened up to cope with the extra flow.

I will email you soon with more details if you need them. Sorry I haven't replied to your last email.....you know me :-/
