All,
I am looking to change the oil pump as a way to up my oil pressure. I understand that this may well not help, but having a new oil pump around is OK. With that in mind, what are my options? I will pull the motor but hope to not split the case. Is this even possible? Which pump? Thanks Peter |

@JamesM : Fresh build (20 years ago, but only installed recently). Turned crank, new cam and all bearings, p and c's also new etc. 20w50 oil. Tangerine bypass installed. Oil pressure when hot at low idle is low enough to turn on the oil light. The switch is A 3 psi or close to that unit.
I understand that a different pump may not fix my issue, but it seems worth a try. Is this incorrect? You guys make it sound like there are no good options for oil pumps? So new question if you are building a fresh 2056 for tooling around on the weekends what oil pump do you use? |

It is incorrect to try a new pump without measuring and knowing what you have. If you swap in a new pump with excessive gear end play clearance you’ll have accomplished nothing. If you swap in a new pump with a drastically undersize pump Outside Diameter - smaller than 2.756” you’ll have accomplished nothing Note: all info above ASSUMES you’re using a T1 pump - I’m not sure you’ve ever confirmed this? If you have a T4 pump we need to have some other conversations. |
