Default Re: High Volume Oil Pump advice

The build in my signature is coming up on 7 years now, still runs "like-a-top" according to my good friend Ron, the owner.

Here are the clearances measured very accurately with "a micrometer & a bore gauge", actually "dead accurate" so to speak!

The mains have .0025", the rods .002", end play is .004", and cam journal-to-cam brgs has .002". Every dimension was "built-in" during the build.

The cam brgs were "Teflon" coated to help get that number where we wanted.

Eagle crank was new along with the Scat rods, Clevite brgs all around including the cam brgs!

Not a single oil pressure issue, idles in around 15/20, runs with 45/50. This is all with a "bone-stock" Melling M-19 pump! Unit probably has about 30,000 miles or more on it now.

Thanks, Gary in N.Y.

P.S. Happy Father's Day to all here!
