Subject: Re: New Oil Pump 2.6 Have you checked the oil clearances, the gear/rotor end float should be .002"to.004" of an inch. The gear/rotor to body clearance should be .004"to.010" max. New pumps are expensive but you can have your old one rebuilt. At the moment I have 7 Feltham engines in rebuild, two for Hans Natens of Belguim. Ray Sherratt. |

Subject: Re: New Oil Pump 2.6 There is work on the block to reduce the unwanted back presure which destroys the scew gear drive. The face that the pump bolts to needs to be opened to match the exit opening the oil pump. The hole needs to be milled to the depth of the transfer port below, preferabley with a bull nosed cutter, or blended with a die grinder. Next the transfer holes forward, and the two to the oil filter tower, all need to be bored/drilled to 14mm. Be careful on braking through into the the transfer drilling, not to touch the oil presure relief valve port oposite. Next the oil pump tower needs the same tretment. These operations will require tapping for larger end plugs. The oil filter lower and upper holes at 90deg to the vertical holes, need to be checked to make sure they line up to the block and the filter housing. Make sure the gaskets don`t mask the drillings. Last of all if you have the old rotary oil filter copper screen type they can be coverted to a modern paper type. Ray. |
