Uprated Oil Pump Spring?

[Vz_ace 0]

Hi to all!

 

i know that topic may have been discussed yet, but anyway.

 

is it worth to buy and upgrade oil pump of Mi16 engine with that kind of a spring? is this good improvement?

 

has anybody here already done that? thanks for reports.

 

regards, Vlado

I have done it on my 8v, the gauge shows higher presure. Quite easy to do if the sump is off (on an 8v anyway).

depends which Mi16 you mean, the 2.0 already runs the 6 bar spring, if its the 1.9 just get a spring from Peugeot for Circa £3 (from any XU10 engine)

The 6 bar spring is 115711 (£1.61) and the guide pin is 115719 (£1.67). I wouldn't recommend anything stiffer.

Is that the same strength spring as this?

yes, just buy it from Peugeot using the part numbers quoted by Sandy above.

I will! Do Pug still sell replacement pressure relief valves too?

You will of course only have higher pressure with one of these springs whilst the pump has oil, if you are suffering from oil surge it wont make and difference

Yea, as above, it's not really essential as no oil = no oil no matter how stiff the spring is.
