Oil Pump & Camshaft Gear Oiling Modification

View attachment 1715769204

I used VW oli squirter. Bolt has built in pressure valve, you won't lose idle pressure

Well after some more thought, I believe I am going to try something similar to this, instead. I went ahead and plugged the hole through the side of the block with an 1/8" pipe plug and the hole in the oil pump web with a 1/16" pipe plug. I am going to go directly into the main oil galley from the inside and tap that to "whatever" size bolt holds that oil squirter in. I believe it's 8mm. That way, instead of having to use the six bolt oil pump, which is not available in the HV model, I can use the five bolt HV model, which was my intention all along. That's the whole point of this. I WANT to run the HV pump. I firmly believe with the direct pressure oiling the gear will live just fine, even with the extra loads, especially using the factory Chrysler cam cores, which I intend to do. I will update when I have some more done.
