iv heard that you can shim or put a washer in an oil pump to get higher oil pressure.....does anyone know how to do this? i have searched here and on google and couldn't find anything.

thanx

Pull your oil pan down and look at the bottom of the oil pump
There is a cap that you need to take off and keep track of the parts that come out with it (spring and a washer mabye a ball bearing) add another washer to it and bang. Higher oil pressure.
But my question is why?
It doesn't work good for turbo. And isn't needed for a stock engine.
EDIT: edited for spelling

 

thanx,

because i plan on using a gsr oil pump for my ls/vtec-T an oil cooler and i had oil squirters added to the ls block.

do you happen to know what thikness washer will yeild what pressure?

 

Nobody ever has a problem with the stock oil pressure on your setup. Don't expletive with Honda engineering any more than you already will be.

is it going to hurt anything?

 

If you were using a ls pump then you could shim (or remove the washer under the spring retainer bolt) to get the pressure up to the gsr pump pressure.If your using a gsr pump then there is no need to shim it.Shimming the pump will not help with the volume loss if the squirters or cooler.The gsr pump is already set up to be used with squirters and a cooler.

 

is it gonna hurt anything to have the pressure higher? what year gsr's came with oil coolers? and do i remove a washer or add a washer? because MooGoCow says add one and now you say remove one...which is it?
