-71 T oil pump
Hi All, I'm currently restoring my -71T engine. It will be done to more or less stock spec.
1) Can I use my original oil pump or would you suggest an upgrade? 2) If I use my original pump. What kind of overhaul would you suggest? Is there kits available? Thanks for any input Jörgen Forssling Gothenburg SWEDEN |

oil pump
If your pump is in good shape no problem.If you are upgrading to pressure fed tensioners you may want to upgrade.They drop your pressure a bit at idle and the oil warning light may flicker.Fred

Thanks Fred,
I'm not doing the pressure fed tensioners upgrade. I will just install the collapse stops. So, what do I do to overhaul the pump? //Jörgen |

pump
Just inspect it and keep all the gears in same location.Look at the inside for any scratches and reassemble.Fred
