Alright in my attempt to upgrade my oil pump to the 94-95. After installing it i found out that it wasn't the new one but it came with a longer spring so I assumed this is what gave the more oil pressure.
I know now that the newer one has one more tooth.
When I got it running the oil needle was halfway accross.
alot more than it was before, but I noticed that when I shut off the engine it stayed there and same when I turned on the engin.
So I moved the connection arround of the sending unit wire to better the connection. Well went to check and no oil pressure.
The motor started knocking the lifters I mean you could hear then just getting louder.
Well before all this it was leaking out oil real bad at the timing cover to pump surface. So I went in and changed the oil seal.
It worked for about 10 miles and started leaking.
So I decided to update the oil pump to the new one and was worried about it leaking again so I used the copper sealent on the pump to timing cover surface to seal it.
Also it came with a bigger spring than the origianl one in the 89 so I installed.
So would this longer spring cause lower oil pressure or higher oil pressure?
Sorry for being long but though you should know the whole story
Thanks for any info
