Re: Break-in gone wrong! I would not buy the Speedway pump - have seen issues with the castings.

Re: Break-in gone wrong! I have a fixture for testing oil pumps. I'd gladly test yours if you'd like.

Re: Break-in gone wrong! Considering the pump picks up oil and you can see if flowing nicely out of the discharge port of the housing by just turning the gear by hand shows the oil pump is working correctly. This is certainly a mystery.
If it was me I would follow the path the oil flow must travel to verify there's no big opening that would allow the oil to flow so freely you would not see a build of pressure at the sender port. Ronnieroadster |

Re: Break-in gone wrong! Oil pump clearances.
Between gear faces and cap without gasket - 0.0015 Gasket thickness - 0.0065 Total clearance = about 0.008 Ya, plenty of clearance, but I'm not sure how to make it better. Apparently it lost prime and I saw it before it reprimed? It looks like a careful assembly is in my engines future?. |
Re: Break-in gone wrong! Don’t think the 0.008” clearance is an issue. I went back through my thread on the sump oil pump rebuild I did, but I never did measure the gasket, or at least mentioned it. Michael from Third Gen mentioned up to 0.006” clearance between the gears was ok when I spoke to him about getting the gasket.

Re: Break-in gone wrong! Could it have something to do with either one of the oil pressure relief valves? I recall wondering why there was one in the sump oil pump, and one in the block on my C59A.
|
Re: Break-in gone wrong! Is there any chance the block could have been modified at some point in the past for 90% full flow external filter? If so the horizontal passageway in the oil gallery might have a grub screw in it.
Long shot and does not fully explain things but easy to check and rule out. Is the plug fitted correctly behind the cam gear? I'm not an 8BA guy. these might not apply. Mart. |
Re: Break-in gone wrong! I don’t think installing the rear cam bearing sideways to block the fuel pump pushrod hole is a well-known trick. I kinda doubt your installer did it, but you can check by putting the pushrod in and seeing if it is stopped by the cam bearing or if it rides on the cam lobe. If the pushrod goes all the way down to the cam, that’s definitely a problem. I think people install a plug or even put the pushrod back in.

Re: Break-in gone wrong! Ok. I've been following this thread from the beginning but held my tongue. I know its unlikely but when the pump gear gets up to running temp could it spin on the shaft under load then cool off and seem normal when removed and visually inspected. I'm referring to the gear on the shaft that actually moves the oil in the bottom of the pump. Tim
