Hi all,
I disassembled my engine to rebuild, but when I noticed a ridge at the top of the cylinders, I took it to a machine shop to bore it 30 over and went ahead and had them reassemble it with the standard rebuild kit, including new oil pump. When at hot idle, my oil pressure is 45 and it is 60 when traveling. I want to PV the car and go for Duntov. The PV manual indicates the needle should be mid-range.
I dread the thought of replacing the oil pump, not because it is a difficult job, but because the pan doesn't leak now and I don't want it to start by taking it off. Any suggestions?
Thaks,
Bob
