Oilin'

#1

Post by fatfatboy »

With much trial and error I finally got my naked STD heads all together. It was one piece of my 58-60 pan puzzle that took more time than I expected. Not like I'm in a hurry.

Before I put the motor back together I was wondering if there is any upgrades that could be done to the oil pump to push more oil through the motor. Any thoughts?

An H-D oil system for the pans was intended to be a low pressure, low volume system. Personally, I see no reason to deviate from that. Updating to a full flow system is a nice touch but not a necessity. If ya just make sure what ya got is working properly, you will be in good shape....bosheff

Cool beans. Thanks for the tip. Just saved me some coin to help fund my front end that I'm looking for.
