HI all
Joel WROTE
There is an issue.. Apparently the RB oil pumps have a different size gear i.e NA and ET pumps have a different size gear how is the over come?
looking at the oil pumps the diffrence is in the width of the gear ,I will use the oil pump from my 25t as the gear is considerably wider and as such will pump more oil / flow.
have got oil squirters installed ,what a mission!!!, the Rb30 block has only 3-4mm metal in the casting before you enter the oil gallery (the 25t block has over 10mm).Ended up having to tap out to 3/8 bspt thread and installed the squirters into brass plugs,height of sqirters is a real issue as the crank has minimal clearance to the block,alot of mucking around I hope it is worth it.
Mayby someone can shed some light on the effectivness of the oil squirter install,I suspect that unless its a high boost+high rev drag motor the oil squirters are not really necessary (they are painfull to install).
Motor is about 1/3 reasembled ,im off to carry on.
cheers
