finally got me a high volume oil pump so hopefully that fixes my oil pressure problem

Get a bigger sump to go with that high volume pump or you'll run it dry

that should only be a problem with sustained high revs

 

[plymouth_hemi_69]

yeah its gotta bigger than stock sump on it now anyway and jsut curious for when its fully built and im throwing 7000-7500 rpm at it will it still be all good

 

[Immortality]

it should be fine (oil pump wise) as long as you don't sit @ 7000rpm for minutes at a time. the issue isn't so much the oil pump as it is the draining of the oil from the heads back into the sump. common holden problem. next time you have the heads off cleanup the heads around the drain back holes and polish. you can also drill a small hole in the lifter valley where oil collects but it needs to be done properly so you don't hit anything important. (delco knows i think). the oil stays in the head because of windage from the crankcase.

there is a thread on that other Commodore site that has all this info covered.
