I was just wondering if anybody has had any problems with their distributors leaking through the o-ring. I have tried to everything possible to stop it, but nothing works. I have a high volume oil pump, and I wonder if the higher oil pressure is causing it to leak through. Any ideas would be helpful.

I finally got an oil pressure gauge and readings were:
Idle (cold): 60psi Idle (warm): 38 psi 1500rpm: 62psi 2000rpm: 63psi 3000rpm: 65psi It seems that oil pressure is within the normal range at 3000rpm, but at idle it is way too high. The main difference between Toga's oil pump compared to a stock pump is the size of the rotor. That is what determines the amount of oil the pump can move at a given rpm. Unless that is what's causing the high pressure at idle, I don't know what is going on. This is a guess, but could the spring in the pump be causing the high pressure?  |
