Shiming The Oil Pump 5k

[philbey]

that's right it will actually chew more crank power with a higher pressure. I did it because I could.... It's not going to hurt if you just run with 2-3mm.

Ok, you have all of the info here you need to do it........ but do you really need to if you've never seen it any lower than 40psi!!!???

 

Is the for a worked motor or is it just stock!?

 

Its not like more all pressure give you more performance.

 

 

yeah but this is what I'm trying to find out Taz_Rx ive never had a 5k before this is my first one

i don't no why on start up it sits at 62psi and when warm 40psi! maybe its been shimmed (but i don't no) can also

be my oil being to thick or somethink

 

i don't no if it has work done to it. i got it of a old man witch it was in a ke38 wagon!

so i think its stockas and I'm going to do some work to it head work, a balance new piston and rings

and a bit of a bore and also high rpm cam, so i sorta need some

more oil up top but just wanna no my limets

 

cheers thanks for all the info

helped out heaps :wink:
