Mpcoluv Gearhead Posts: 1278 From: Charlotte NC usa Registered: Apr 2001	posted 08-01-2001 08:43 PM Hi guys, This has probably been asked before but... I currently have restrictors in my 372C. The rear lifter gallery restrictor is opened up to .125 for a hyd. cam. I am currently running a high volume pump. I think this pump is emptying the oil pan on high rpm bursts. Can I switch to a standard volume pump with the 100psi moroso spring and still oil the lifters? IP: Logged

The high volume pump is not your problem nor is it emptying the oil pan. Why are you suspect? ------------------ Alex Denysenko Co-Administrator and Moderator NHRA/IHRA/SRA member NHRA and IHRA SS/LA National Record Holder '00 & '01 Fleet of FoMoCo products Moneymaker Bio US Class Nationals link IP: Logged
