Default Re: Burtz oil pump

An oil pump delivering high oil pressure is placing a high load on the oil pump drive gear and the center cam gear. I am concerned that this will be a failure area for anyone that accumulates lots of miles on their engine. I have been installing the Kliesen filter/regulator since they have been available and limiting the pressure to 30 - 32 psi. The extra benefit of the bi-pass is that the extra oil is sprayed directly on the timing gear.
Good day!
