oil pump gq

Post by blown gq »

i've recently rooted yet another oil pump in my 88 gq shorty, shattered the gears to pieces. its running a 4.8L out of a gu, bored to a 5L and supercharged. im unsure if rev limiter is set (cant hear anything over the noise of the blower) so just wondering if that could contribute to the problem and if anyone else has had this problem before. cheers, bozey.

I've got a set of billet oil pump gears for a 4.8 that I never used, Pm me. It's a common issue when the rev limiter is raised, superchargers can also place additional shock loads on the crank nose and pump gears.

Cheers
