Anyone using a High Volume Oil Kit?

Like this one?

I am finally ordering my double roller timing chain/gears, and I am replacing the oil pump while I am in there. So I figured I might give the high volume kit a try.

If you use one, how do you like it? What pressures do you see? At idle and at WOT.

Didn't Malice do that with a washer when he rebuilt his motor? Been a long time, but I think it was him that did that.

Those guys at clubgp seem to have the same opinion I have about it. On the fence.

My oil pressure runs right at 30 at idle and just barely to 60 at throttle with 10w-30 in it.
When it was newer, it stayed at least at 60, even at idle. It just seems like it's too low for me. I know the oil spring mod doesn't help idle oil pressure, but I would really like to see more WOT pressure.

I am theorizing that maybe some chunks of my timing chain tensioner have damaged the pump, etc. But I think I need to change out the Oil pressure sending unit first, then go from there.

Matt, since you are king of part numbers, do you have a GM part number for the bolts that hold the oil pump cover on? They tried to strip out last time I replaced the timing chain (when I wanted to check the pump out) so I left it alone. This time I will replace the pump/plate/bolts.

My car does the same thing once it's warmed up. I believe it's fairly common. That's why the manual gives a certain RPM to be at the required 60 psi.

Cool I am glad someone elses does it too.
