(semi) Goodday guys
I had the tread abbout what oil to use for high rpm redblocks.
Well... Removed my oil pump, it was done. Took a new pomp ported the passages a bit, Cleaned it up and installed with some fresh rod bearings.
All seemed fine. 4bar pressure on the starter and never above 5.5 when revving. Till yesterday when i lost oil pressure AGAIN. I suspect the pressure relief valve. when idling pressure is scary low roughly 1 bar and when revved it climbs up again. The pump i took out had the valve stuck open and made sure the new one was funcioning smooth as it should.
Never heard of this being an issue and am quite suprised why a supposed to be good engine keeps failing on me (had countless issues with this POS)
are there people that know abbout this issue and know a solution? Getting frustrated to pull the oilpan again.
