What is the oil pressure relief valve mod please? Just having an engine built for my track car and have arp rod bolts and oil cooler on the way. Will do this too if it's a good idea.

Take it standard engine is more than up to regular track day use? Just want reliability really. Not chasing figures as more than happy with how it goes.........at the moment anyway!

Stick some Supertech valves in if you want reliability and safety near the limiter.

take the bung out of the bottom of the pump, cut another groove half as deep at a right angle to the original one, lolish the actual plunger up as well to get rid of any sharp edges around the groove.

it will make sense when you see the bits.
