Oil pressure... How much would be too much?
Oil pressure... How much would be too much?
It was setup to just bypass the excess oil directly to the inlet of the pump.
The only way I could make it internal would be to remake it and put it back onto the rear of the oil pump, but then I wouldn't be able to adjust it without removing the bottom sump.
The filter gallery exits the block to go to the filter housing anyways, so that's the easiest place to tap into it, especially since I've already completed the new rear pump housing.
I'm not really worried about where to put a relief valve, the main thing I;m looking for is what the effects of oil pressure being higher than stock would be.
I know I'll have a small hit in HP and a bit more strain on the chain/sprockets, but I'm unsure what will happen to the mains, rods, valve-train, etc... Like I said, all I've ever heard is "don't, seals will blow out", but no other reasons...

The stock regulator is part of the cast back of the oil pump, so I'd have to remake it entirely.
