Now if you can't sleep at night over it, how about a high volume pump or heavier oil? I wouldn't make either change based on what you have given us, but they are possibilities.


Yea I was thinking going to 20-50 and some Lucas. The motor runs good and nothing is knocking or tapping. I kinda wondered what a factory pump psi idled at and then go from there.
