Default Re: Flathead Engine Oil Pressure ?

Correct and you can put 3/16 to 1/4 inch shim in the valley valve so it don't open if a later pump with the valve is installed. The valley valve don't have to open to lube the timing gears etc. The valley valve has a flat spot on the seat so it always leaks enough oil on the gears. G.M.
