914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Too much oil pressure

Posted by: MattR Aug 18 2005, 02:56 PM

Question for the type 4 masters out there:

My new 2056 is leaky (~1 qt in 10 mins from the oil cooler seals). I thought it was the seals, so I took those out and tried to seat them properly dozens of times with no luck. Now Im thinking its an oil pressure thing. I plug in my electrical VDO gauge and it pegs it (past 80 psi). I dont THINK my oil pressure relief pistons are stuck. I pulled the plugs and they slid freely in their bores. Are there any other suggestions for too much oil pressure?

Im running a shadeck 30mm t1 pump and ive drilled and tapped all my oil galley plugs and cleaned the galleys.

Ideas?

point of reference: i have a similar high flow pump... cold oil PSI at idle is about the same....but my cooler seals dont leak
and i have non stuck replacement bleed off pistons....

Nevermind...

I hooked up a mechanical gauge and got 60 psi at idle and near 75 at revs. Back to being confused

You might start looking for a hairline crack in the cooler / case.

Might be useful to take it off and have it pressure tested

or

obtain another known good one and refit.
