The oil pump pressure rises with the engine revs. In a healthy engine hot oil can go way beyond the opening pressure of the pressure relief valve and if it was not limited by this valve it could in e

If you put a washer under the spring, this will raise the max. oil pressure, providing the oil pump and bearings are in good nick. You can check this: If the oil pressure rises quickly with the engin

And what if the spring is 50 years old, and has lost it's tension, and opens at 20 lbs?? And what if the valve isn't seating and sealing in the block?? Sent from my iPhone ___________________________

It's common for the outside of the spring to wear down against the wall of the spring's tube, lowering spring rate and reducing oil pressure. -- Sent from my mobile device __________________________

If you run the typically thicker oil we run in our Healeys--20W-50, say--and start the engine on a cool morning, the oil pressure you see at fast idle should be the setpoint (around 60psi) for the re

Yes, I had more oil pressure before the rebuild but I didn't touch (let alone change) the oil pressure relief value/spring. Now the pressure is low, so I suppose, if it is the OPRV, then it must be

Did you rebuild the engine exactly as you took it apart? What I mean is this: You did not swap around bearing shells or piston rods or its caps did you? Nr 1 rod is still nr 1 and nr 6 is still nr 6

As far as air in the oil pressure line is concerned, some have the opinion that the air needs to be bled out of the line for the gauge to display the correct pressure. However, my experience was diff

Hi Kees Yes, it was more of a partial (and amateur!) rebuild. I had blown a piston, so I removed the head, cleaned up, replaced the pistons and exhaust valves and put it all back together (with the o

I don't believe you should use assembly lube on pistons anyway. It's too slick and too good a lubricant, and you risk the rings not seating properly. That's why it's also not a bad idea to use a 'bre

I agree with Steve, the column of air in the oil pressure line needs to be there to dampen out the oil pump pulses. I addressed this issue back on Aug 6th in a reply to the list and David Masucci who

Fluids do not compress - air compresses. That is why there cannot be air in break lines - the pressure must be finite and proportional to the foot pressure applied. For the same reason there cannot b

I disagree. In a braking system the transmission of force/pressure has to be instant and precise so no volume of air to compress can be allowed as that would take to much travel from the brake pedal.
