A discussion of Oil Pumps, Oil Pressure, and Shimming Subaru pumps

A few days ago, our friend and fellow racer Victor Kuhns from DM Rally was in town, and he has been working on building up a new engine for his race car to run up Pikes Peak. One of the aspects of his build that we have been talking about and helping him with has been the oil pressure on his new engine, and Victor has done a tone of testing of different oil pumps and configurations. He has found a lot of good information now that he has tried a number of different set-ups, and we were able to talk to him for a bit about all that he has now found out.

One of the most interesting things that we discuss is the process of putting a shim into a Subaru oil pump.

Thanks for watching, and a very big thank you to Victor for spending some time with us!
