I keep blowing this oring out.I have the front regulator shimed with 2 i believe number 6 washers the oil pressure is like 70 idle cold and pegs 100 quickly hot it drops to 55-60 at idle and pegs out has anyone came up with a better way of sealing this when it blows hot its 10 up to 40

 

dumb question but, do you have the plastic washer that goes around the o ring installed?

No I have the earlier iron the plastic washer will fit around it with no support under it.Ive read that when i bought this car with the plastic washer half pinched. The way i been doing it it holds for a few days with nice high numbers but if you pound on it the oil pressure gets funny again. Ive tried all but the square oring like on an oil filter. .I use the oring and sealant.i feel that the inside of this oring should be supported also Has anyone modified this???

 

Is your front cover oil bypass regulator working?

Don't use sealant.

Supporting the inside of the o-ring is pointless.

 

Sounds to me like that is what he shimmed. That is why the orings keep blowing. Shimming the front regulator.....blows imho.

 

That and the square ring will be the next try. i used 2 small washer like it says to.
I thought about taking out one but this problem was before i shimmed it and that was try one when i found the plastic washer smashed too
