I purchased a 80-85 PSI oil pressure valve upgrade from Atkins. It came with 3 or 4 little tiny washers, I remember reading somwhere that I need to shim somthing with these (I think) to get it to fuction as intended. Can anyone please enlighten me on this?

Thanks,
Robert

 

There is a front cover OPR.&nbsp You need to drop the oil pan to install the rear OPR, so you'll see the largish hex thing on the bottom of the front cover.&nbsp Remove the hex "cap", and a spring and a metal "tip" should fall out.&nbsp Put the washers on the bottom into the hex cap and put everything back into place.

The engine is comepletly apart ATM. I have removed the Large HEX (rear OPR) already ... the one I am adding looks just like the one I removed almost. This cap & tip is located on the front OPR? I didn't see anything that sounds like what you are speaking of on the rear OPR. I am a little confused, do you have any pictures? or links to pictrues on this?

Thanks alot

 

No, sorry, I don't have pics of this laying around...maybe HAILERS can save the day?

The front oil cover has a hex cap on the bottom.&nbsp It's obvious when you look at the bottom edge.&nbsp This hex cap needs to be removed to reveal a longish spring and a pointed metal thingy.&nbsp Shim the spring upwards by placing the washers inside the hex cap, and then placing the spring and metal tip on top and reassemble.

Okay, I will take a good look at this when i get home tonight.. hard to picture as I sit here at work, but I think I can spot it when I get home and see it.

Thanks again
