Shim Install
Hi Guys,
I'm installing a shim to increase the warm oil pressure. I have a question about the install;
1) Do i keep the stock spacer and install them both?
OR
2) Do I replace the sock spacer and just use the shim?
Quote:
Thanks!

AFAIK
that mechanism is only there to determine the maximum oil pressure for the system. It won't do a damn thing for warm oil pressure.

Pressure is due to volume viscosity restriction.
Gear size, viscosity and clearances determine (hot) pressure not the bypass preload.
