5. RE: Oil preferences (score: 1): Author: Carter Shore <clshore@yahoo.com>; Date: Tue, 9 May 2000 08:57:35 -0700 (PDT); I agree with Craig, Remember that we are dealing with fixed positive displacement oil pumps. I believe the oil pressure relief valve is set at 70 psi (from memory). So if we ignore leakage in the pum; /html/spitfires/2000-05/msg00315.html (9,552 bytes)
6. Re: Oil preferences (score: 1): Author: Tburke4@aol.com; Date: Tue, 9 May 2000 12:51:19 EDT; Carter (and everyone else) Speaking of loose bearings, I wonder if a wide pressure range like this could be a indication of a worn or lost thrust washer?

So which ever bearing has the largest clearance that's where the oil will go. Pressure wise in a Spit the top half of the engine; /html/spitfires/2000-05/msg00319.html (9,110 bytes)

In order to squeeze 1600 cc from a Spit 1500 engine one would have to bore each cylinder well over a quarter of an inch. There just ain't enough metal there to do that.
