Not sure what type of
oil pump but it only has 2800 miles on it and is the same one I was using before when I had the higher
oil pressure. I did not remove any plugs,
oil springs, etc. I can't remember but where is the oil relief spring located? Possibly in the rear behind the bellhousing in a nice convenient place?
I measured the crank journals with two different calipers and they measured out to be stock size, can't remember the size right off hand. I also read the old rod bearing numbers and since it appeared my crank journals were stock I ordered the same size rod bearings as the old ones. CLE-CB760P standard size Clevite from Summit. I did not measure the actual clearance as I probably should have but I figured if the journal size is stock, or so it appeared, then all I need is stock rod bearings?
I plan on hooking up another gauge to a different location to double check my pressure. Isn't their another spot somewhere near the oil filter area on the block? If another gauge reads the same I'll try thicker oil.
-What would be acceptable pressure at idle?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike
