I'll be getting my case back from RIMCO pretty soon and I'm thinking about the oil system. I'm planning to run a 30mm Schradeck (sp?) pump. I've read a number of threads about "full flow" oiling for TIV engines and I guess I don't get it.
For full flow on a TIV you do what? Plug or modify the oil filter bypass valve that I've circled below? Then what? Modify the oil pressure relief valve (new spring I guess) to accomodate higher pressure? Then what? At what pressure does the stock cooler blow open like a pan of Pop-Magic pop corn?

It doesn't take much pressure to open the bypass, as the spring isn't very stiff.
I removed the ball and spring assy, inserted an aluminum plug and tig welded it shut, on one for a customer. The aluminum doesn't weld too good though - crappy casting. |
