Default Re: Oil Filter Poser

The only way to check how much pressure an A pump, or any pump, will produce is to put a gauge at the end of the oil line and not let any oil pass through, like checking fuel pressure. I have heard it can pump 30lbs but don't know how you would check it on a running engine. However, experience from many users shows it will pass through an oil filter no problem. I have pressure to the center main and a full flow filter. My gauge goes over the 10# mark when cold, 0 at slow speed when hot. I used to worry about it, but since the engine has not failed, I don't worry anymore.
