DS Pump

Hi Sandeep,

Just a quick question about your pressure not dropping below 25 psi: is the mentioned 25 psi also the minimum pressure hot ( about 180F oil) at idle?

Thanks,
Walter

Wally,

I get 20 psi @ idle when oil temp is 180F. At speed (4000 rpm) I get 60 psi @ 180F. (20W50 Castrol)

Cold I get 60 psi @ idle and up to 80 psi as I drive to get it warmed up.

LOVE this pump ... I have no need for a shut off valve as my DS tank is mounted very low. After sitting for the weekend, I measure the oil level in the case and it does not even register on a stock length flexible dipstick that I have. :agree: My DS tank has a 10L capacity.

Thanks!

I was a little worried because of the small pressure side (21mm), as the original type 4 has already 24mm.

thanks again,
Walter

Sandeep do you think someone could clearance the Cb pump for use in a type IV that doesn't have the riveted cam gear? but using a bolt on gear instead?

I thought I read somewhere that a lot of clearancing was needed for type IV applications, that the pump body would be to thin. Even though this doesn't make a lot of sense considering that many others have done the exact thing with regular type I oil pumps.

So I just wanted to see what you thought, think there would be a major problem here?


thanks
