Quote: "For the last 3 years all i have ran is a stock oil pump (no hi-volume or pressure) and the stock pick-up. I didn`t notice it in the car but the oil pressure drops 5 lbs from 6000 to 7500 RPM."
That's with the MP 6qut oil pan, correct? Any scarpers or any such animal? Has there been any sign of bearing issues when the motor is disassembled?
Just wondering. Thanks!!
Steve,FWIW,
On an engine I built for FAST, he generally runs 6,800-7K through the traps. I have incorporated some oil mods,(scraper, unidirectional screen,"blueprinted" pump and a 3/8" pickup), stock pan but nothing exotic. I have never seen any bearing issues on teardowns.
