stock oil pump relief valve measurements
FWIW I measured the oil pump spring
It exerts 3.55 kgf @ 5 mm of compression = 40 lbf/in diameter of piston = 16 mm = 0.4 in^2 pre load of spring at rest = 10mm piston cracks open with an additional 3.3 mm ... total 13.3mm ... that's 53 psi each mm of motion is an add'l 4 psi The piston has a wear mark which suggests a "wide open" position which has an additional 3mm of movement. This is 65 psi. For every additional 1 mm of shimming, it adds 4 psi. If you add a 2 mm shim it'll crack open at 61 psi, and it'll be 73 psi at the "wide open" position. |
Wonderful man. Thanks for that. I placed a 2mm shim in my bypass. I did it knowing the Oil cooler and remote filter will be on soon.
