This is a relief valve assembly from an uprated oil pump. Spot the "uprated" bit



The scoring on the piston is worse then it appears in the photo. You can actually feel it grate when you move it in the bore. This is after 6000mls.



Not very clever that, especially on a £5k engine...

This is NOT from RCM or Lateral P. btw.

hmmm, nice..

Who from?, want to email tham and ask, "how much extra for the rusty bolt modification?"

Pavlo

The whole point of the modification that RCM do is to replace the piston with one that doesn't rock and jam in the bore.

Name and shame I think.

GGR?

The GGR one is smooth all the way down. No steps like that. At least, the 2 I have seen were.

Pavlo

Well, I didn't think GGR would do this to be honest, but they are the only ones I know of that advertise a modified oil pump

Im surprised that the mod does go for a smooth plunger. In minis, and rover v8,s the modification removed the smooth plunger, and replaced it with a ball bearing, and modified the seat, so it sealed again. Obvioulsy there would be very little chance of a ball bearing siezing/sticking in the bore.

The pump came off an "uprated" engine built by C & K Manchester. It's been in my garage a year, so it might not be a current example of their work I believe they are no longer trading?

They are trading..... but have moved from longsight to Stockport and now under the name of Prosport. I'd be very surprised if Peter did anything that looked that dodgy...... maybe give him a ring and speak to him about it.
