Not to mention, it heats the oil up more. As an example; I built a 406 3 years ago that I did some major oil galley revising. It had 2-1/2 thousandth's on both mains and rods with .024 side clearence and the hi volume TRW pump. It carried 30# at idle and 65# at speed and that was with 0-30 Mobil-1. Make sure you use a racing quality filter, not the cheapo FL-1 or PH-8, as these are in bypass mode too often. It could be that your relief valve is stuck too. The first job of oil is to cool, and if it cant carry the heat out of the bearings then you will have trouble. |
