I mean, if you sit down with a pad and pencil and write down just the facts of the original post here and try to make sense out of how 30psi happens on a regular basis with those components installed, it's a real head scratcher!
I spend hours and hours of my time using electronics mathematics or mechanical engineering math to solve some of the problems I run into, and precision is absolutely imperative. I am always trying to understand each system in a similar way. This one has me stumped so far. To try and learn how the system works CORRECTLY then why a friends system is working differently is proving to be a challenge with those REAL numbers posted above. Mike is dedicated as much as I am to solving this problem, so we WILL prevail! Thanks Steve! Add two other things to the mix. This is a full flow system so 100% of the oil that is picked up from the pickup screen is sent directly to the spin-on filter just outside the block (then the gauge hookup) and then back in to the engine. How hard can it be, yet it IS! This is a single path for oil to flow. No bypass, no other means of establishing pressure. | | |
