| RE: 390 oil pump |

Melling has some good information on pumps on their site http://www.melling.com/support/bulletins/view.asp?id=12
I'm using a Milodon HV/HP pump, have zero problems or issues, and it works perfectly.
For what it's worth, most of the "bad" things you hear on this issue are anectodal...stuff a friend told them about a guy whose uncle knew a guy whose friend... and the trash that passes as fact on Internet forums.
If the question was "must you use one?" then I suppose the answer could be different but you'll clearly do no harm if you do use one. So at worst, it will be inert. At best, it could provide a valuable margin at higher rpm. One thing, though, is that since the FE doesn't meter valve train oiling through the lifter, as the tech article states, it wouldn't hurt to restrict rocker oiling with the insertion of Holley jets (I recall that 80s are the norm) under the rocker shaft supports. I haven't done this myself and have no adverse issues but it wouldn't hurt. |
