Have/had a Melling. Not sure if it's doing me a disservice or not. Oil pressures drop pretty damn low when it gets hot, making me suspect that the oil pump is part of my problem.
Thinking of getting a Schadek, but would like to know what to look for/fix if and when I get one. I'd love one of Jakes new pumps, but it doesn't sound like they're ready to hit the market quite yet. -Josh2 |

Like most everything else the quality of the Melling has dropped.. People that still purchase based on previous experience are the ones that are screwing themselves and don't even know it.. We see so many parts and understand them so well that any small change is noted or shows up fairly quickly.
I laugh when people say "I've been using XXX part for 35 years with no problems" because they have become so complacent that they don't even pay attention to their surroundings in most cases.. That is, until they have a failure and then they bitch like crazy. This Melling was the proper unit used in the proper application, the issue occurred because the pump should have failed quality control... |

Perhaps my Melling is still in the "good" zone. Don't know. I bought it about 13 years ago I think.
Still, I gotta do some some evaluation on why my oil pressures were so low when hot. -Josh2 |
