So i saw the article Aaron Cake has about How to shim oil regulator. in it he said if you want to go over 100psi you have to shim the front cover regulator too. my question is i see 2 wahers in already

i want to use 3 washers on both of them.




and on the below left hand corner is that a oil regulator too?

 

The front cover uses Two 3/16 washer. The front cover relief is to keep the oil coolers alive. The rear is the oil regulator. Use a fd regulator in the rear..

 

i already have the rear opened up.

 

My engine was put together with an FD oil pump, FD pressure regulator and shimmed front cover regulator. I haven't installed the engine yet, so I don't know how it works, but, it should be about 80-100 lbs of pressure.

 

At 3k rpm you should see 110 psi

 

The last picture looks like the coolant drain if that is an iron (front iron?). The studs are for the drivers side engine mount and the hexagonal plug is the blocks coolant drain.

 

I shimmed the front cover relief using 2 3/16 washers (as pwer Aaron cake). However I didn't feel like bothering with removing the roll pin in the regulator, so I crushed the tip with a sledge hammer roughly 50%. I saw 70 psi at idle when cold, about 40 psi when warm and about 90 psi @ 3k. I am not sure what oil pump it was because the oil pump I pulled from my tII was the same as the one on the rebuilt n/a I was swaping in (although it also had a modified regulator)

Yes, that is the coolant drain plug....best not to shim that

 

i am assuming u have take that piston out and then put the washer for the front cover?

 

so i am using 3 washer on the iron, means i should use 3 on the front cover?

 

anyone?
