RE: Help...Oil Pump Releif Spring Plug

John, What you need to do first is determine if you have the correct size plug using a set of dial or regular calipers. There will be a few thousandths interferance fit but not a lot. If correct size plug use a socket that fits the plug & tap it in with a hammer. (assuming you do not have a bushing driver). I have made a device for just what you are doing to test the pressure before installing pump as it takes an awful lot of work to find out by installing pump. Make a plate to cover end of pump that bolts to block use your oil pressure guage on center hole then use drill to turn pump counter clockwise while holding pickup in oil this will give you very close to running oil pressure when installed. a very low speed is needed to turn pump. This is assuming also your engine/brgs/clearance are ok
