I went to put a new thermal pellet in and i forgot to put the shims in it and after starting to bolt it down i realized i forgot to shim it when i took it out it the bottom pin is retracted back into the thermal pellet , i need to know if i f'ed it up or will it be fine with shims ?

 

On that note i shim'd the pellet and installed it ... and my oil pressure is still low... bad sending unit ? or any ideas ?

 

are u supose to put shims in???i never did and my oil psi is fine and dandy

 

ya the http://fc3spro.com/TECH/HOWTO/OTB/otb.html says you need to shim the new 1 .. but my old one was def beat. but i still have the low oil press on gauge.... might be time to get a aftermarket gauge . but i do like the stock look

 

Usually people put in a new solid thermal pellot. You can buy one from atkins for about $8. All that is needed is the solid pellot and the spring.

I would but this, attach the spring and install. This will elminate the old crappy system and you don't have to worry about shims.

cool ill have to order one asap

 

Is the spring needed for this...? I just took off a front cover to a failed motor and found this item w/out the spring..??

 

yes it is, and did you check to see if the spring was still in the e-shaft?
