[DeTomaso] High Volume Oil Pump?

[Charles McCall]

One comment - your pressure gauge may be lying. 

I didn't trust what my stock gauge was telling me so I installed a
mechanical pressure gauge. There is considerable difference between that the
two gauges are telling me... Before doing something as major as replacing
engine components based on what the gauge is telling you, I'd verify the
pressure with a mechanical gauge. 

Two cents...

Asunto: [DeTomaso] High Volume Oil Pump?

I'm in the process of installing the Armando oil pan and found a new stock
OEM oil pump on my motor...my oil pressure stays around 40-50 when warm. 
Motor was rebuilt by previous owner and has less than 50 miles since the
rebuild (new bearings, balanced, decked, bored 30 over, 9.5 compression,
headers, .510 lift hydraulic cam, 72 CJ or HO motor).  Since I intend on
doing some track days (but mostly street driving on the weekends) I was
considering installing a high volume pump while the pan is off...?  Anyone
have comments?

Best regards,

Tom Borcich
