Want to know whats the best oil pump for d16z6? PLEASE NEED ADVICE!
I have a fully built d16z6, 8:5:1 compression, I have 2500 miles on it right now, and i want to know if i should just port my z6 oil pump or does anyone know of any aftermarket oil pumps that are good and safe to get? i will be boosting my single cam and looking to get 400 hp

That just sounds like a bad idea. Making your own shim...
Do what you want, but i love my motor too much to risk that.

If I recall correctly, that's a Federal Mogul company and they are an oem supplier. An OEM one from Honda would probably be the same price or less and it's known to be top quality.
And what's wrong with grinding your own washer? As long as you take the burrs off and get it good and clean, it should be fine.

Making your own shim is bad only if you don't have confidence in yourself and you rush it....also I'm a mechanic and engine builder so if shimming wasn't safe I wouldn't recommend it...also it does is make the spring stiffer as if you put a stiffer spring in it......trust me its safe

Port and shim it to be safe but there are people who have made 400hp with stock d16z6 oil pumps (turbod16.com). Im building a my Rt4wd wagon and thats want Im gonna do. Aftermarket oil pumps have had some quality and finish issues - hit and miss results.
