New Melling Performance Oil Pump Coming

[Dane]

My engine guy sourced it for me. I can find out but from a quick google it looked like there were a bunch out there.

And yes that is exactly what it's made/used for.

What are you searching? My Google-Fu is not serving me well today.

I searched oil filter sandwich plate. If you can't find one let me know and I will send a note to my engine guy.

Perfect, got it. Thanks.

No go rev that oil pressure up already. I got my bonus today and an oil pump is a high priority

So I'm seeing a max of 82-83.

Am I understanding that this melling will max at about 95?

Thoughts on that? This is above my paygrade.

Will the "red" spring change that max to 85?

The gauge is probably only accurate within 2-3 psi. I would assume the stock pump has an 85 pound spring in it. I personally would not hesitate to try running it a little higher with the Melling. Assume it could only help float the crank under high load. And I doubt the extra 10 psi is going to blow any seals out.

But the above is all purely speculative.

Truczor, if you don't mind, can you ask your engine guy to provide you with the P/N for the plate since we know yours fits and works?

I just sent him a note. He works on and travels with a race team so he can be a little slow to respond sometimes. You might be better off calling SDHQ or one of the other vendors.
