yes dry sumped but the oil pressure stayed around the 40psi even up the revs??

the gearbox felt wicked, feels like i have more hp with the 4.375 and slightly closer 3rd and 4th "did not use 4th"

I am pretty sure those CB dry sump pumps only have 21mm pressure gears.
It would be nice to see a little more pressure,
but realistically is is probably more than enough.(or else the rods would be all over the road by now).

It may just need relief valve adjustment, or it may be all the pump can deliver..

I might look into getting some more pressure to be safe

Craig Torrens ·

did it have more pressure before the change ?

colin ·

I would like to see a little more pressure.
Approx 60psi at 7000 plus rpm

Cheers Col

cnfabo ·

Yes it had more pressure. Better get it sorted before my next race in 2 weeks

Craig Torrens ·

Any updates on your oil pressure problem ?

Installed adjustable pressure dooby wacky thingy bobby.have not checked warm pressure yet, fired her up the other day and had 80psi and had heaps more adjustment left in it.
