I'll just throw this out. Is there any chance that you got an oil pump for a hydraulic lifter motor?


Dick,

While we're on the subject of oil pressure/levels, what are your thoughts on running an Accusump?
Considering no hydraulic head motor has ever even been on the premises, and the oil pumps I have all came out of used 1.6 motors, there's no chance this is a hydraulic head oil pump.

I've always used the (used) 1.6 oil pumps because I read/heard/was told somewhere that they use less horsepower than the high volume/aftermarket oil pumps. Maybe because they're broken in?

Dick mentioned earlier that used cylinder heads were less desirable because once they seats have been cut, the seats are sunk too much. Is it legal to replace the seats with new ones and get the seat height back to the original height? I would think so.
