Help...Oil Pump Releif Spring Plug

By John - 06/25/2001 7:34:44 PM; IP 24.222.71.214

I am trying to replace the high pressure spring in my MV57 pump with a regular one, but I have had no luck trying to press in the plug. I have two plugs and ruined the first one by trying to use a vise. It flattened slightly in the vise, then I tried a hammer, but that's not easy to get it started as the spring fights it. I don't mind buying anohter pump as they're not expensive, but it is annoying I can't seem to install this plug. Plus this pump has the larger hex shaft input which works with my "guarenteed for life shaft". Incidentaly it was a FPP HP/HV pump..."blueprinted"...(whatever that means with regards to an oilpump) which gave me 145 psi cold oil pressure...way too high! This other spring should give me 70 to 80 psi max pressure which is about right. Even if I purchase another pump, I would like to know how this plug is installed. My guess is that the factory uses a special tool, but I always hear about people shimming springs, etc, so the home guy should be able to do it I would think.

This thread, so far...
