Re: Low oil pressure
To those who suggest switching to an 8BA pump in the 59A, how much improvement do you think should be realized by that? I'm having the same issue as the "crazy model A".

Re: Low oil pressure
Before switching pumps adjust the relief valve in the front of the valve valley if your engine has one. Replacing the pump and the spring in the engine is weak won't improve the pressure much if any. G.M.

Re: Low oil pressure
15/40 oil restricts oil flow to the bearings which makes them run hot, Wit stock clearances 10/230 is best. I'm gona start running 5/20 synthetic. Hi pressure creats heat when it has to blow off the relief valve. If your pressure is to hi go to a thinner oil, the bearings will love ya.
