Hi, bronze dizzy gear has falied in my Hemi after 2000 road miles, what is the best brand gear to buy to replace it. Also a friend pointed out I may have to much oil presure which is componding the wear problem. The motor has 65psi hot idle and 90psi when the revs are up, it has a meling H/V pump.
Does anyone offer a softer bypass spring for these pumps, would this help?
Thanks Tim
Lowering the oil PSI certainly wouldn't hurt. Maybe try a thinner oil? I went from 15W40 to 10W30 and my idle picked up 200RPM for an idea of how much load is on that gear. I just recently tore mine down for inspection and with 2500 miles on it the bronze gear was perfect(20psi idle 65psi on the road at 3000rpm).
