Hello all,
I've tried searching for this question, but haven't found anything definitive. Though its still a ways off, I am hoping to add the ol' RX-7 oil cooler up front, complete with a custom fiberglass valence on this '73 1.7. In the meantime, while I've got the motor sitting here in the driveway, I wanted to switch to the heavy-duty oil pump. I have heard this is a good idea with an oil cooler mounted a ways from the pump. I'll be using the sandwich adapter and keeping the stock cooler as well. My question is mostly pertaining to the relief valve inside the motor. Do you have to replace it if you use the type I pump? Will it dramatically increase oil pressure if you don't? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! |

QUOTE I'm still very confused Because you don't seem to want to take the advice of the "experts" on the subject. One who has reinvented what it means to rebuild a T4 motor and the other who is actually doing what your contemplating doing and has shared his results. Sorry... don't mean to sound harsh but, a lot of times people get their head around something and refuse to let go. Not confusing to me... If Jake told me it probably wasn't needed and Joe told me it made no difference, I'd look elsewhere on where to waste my money. Sounds like slot machines would net you a better return. At least you get free drinks while you're playing. |
