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! |

Need, no. Want to, yes. It's easy even with the motor in the car.

Any specific vendor you would suggest? I'd assume Gene Berg. OR, am I finally starting to make sense of this? Rather than changing the valves/springs, I could just use a Gene Berg Oil Pump Relief Cover, no? Geez, NOW I get it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
