Re: Are you Bored? Bang for Buck Engine recipe required.

Good information there Rob.
I did not realise that there were better Grey Motor Oil Pumps.
So, after FB Engine number B47171, Engines had the better Oil Pump Part number 7405904.
which has different body and different helix gear angles producing higher Oil pressure at lower RPM.

Cheers Ed.

Re: Are you Bored? Bang for Buck Engine recipe required.

Thanks Rob

I will have a look at those pumps.
I am just chasing a little bit more volume and pressure without stressing the Dizzy gear too much.
It is a J motor so it has the Oil squirter onto the gear which will help a bit.

I will look at those post

Re: Are you Bored? Bang for Buck Engine recipe required.

Yes Blacky, it would be great to buy new pumps off the shelf, especially if the were larger volume without loading up the distributor gear too much.
A deeper pan might also be an option as well so to not circulate sludge so much if not using an oil filter.
The chev pumps are not expensive might be ...

Re: Are you Bored? Bang for Buck Engine recipe required.

Re: Grecian White/Apache Red 225

Hi Craig,

What sort of Oil Pressure is the Engine making with the 308 Oil pump gears?

I have some 308 gears coming for my build if I feel like doing the same with my current grey build.

Do you have any spare spacer plate lying around that you want to Sell?

Cheer Ed.

Re: FJ sedan

Hi guys,
The roof colour finishing there will not look so out of place with a Sunvisor fitted.

just saying, depends if other roof painted areas need touching up, I suppose.
That`s the only reason I can think of why it was finished there.

Nice colour combo though, it will look nice when fully ...

Re: Are you Bored? Bang for Buck Engine recipe required.

OK thanks Blacky.
I will check that post,
Especially now in light of Harv`s most recent post.

Are all the Pumps the same through the years?
I think I have two NOS FJ pump gears, or that was what I was sold a couple of years ago.

Hey Blacky,
I am away at Work until 1 April, then I am back for a couple of months.
Anything happening in April or May?
By the way the Turbo Grey work is progressing well.

Re: Are you Bored? Bang for Buck Engine recipe required.

I love the sound of an XU1, they sound just a touch angry.

I am heading back home soon from work and I will ring David at Galloways to see how my Head is going and also see if the Crow 846 Cam has arrived.

I do not have the Cam Specs at the moment but I feel the Crow 846 is somewhere between a Cam ...
