1964 Dart Grüne Hölle Road Course/Track Day/AutoX Project
3/9/23:
Over the weekend I got some small things done.
Got the Cam Bearings installed and began to mock up a late model OE piston squirter for the Oil Pump / Cam gear helical interface. Not sure how all of that is going to work yet.
Also got the matched oil pump from this cam... (I stamped the cams and corresponding oil pumps before sending to the cam grinding shop) and did some modifications... removed the factory standpipe, did a bit of porting / blending inside the factory casting, as well as throughly cleaning and servicing the entire assembly.
I de-sludged and thoroughly polished / cleaned the oil pressure relief valve.
It was so sludged and stuck that I had to place a 1/2" tap up in the bore to get it to move and be pulled free.
