Might be an old video. He didn't mention it on the video.

[@wickedwerks]

Not an old video. This is all current work and yes it’s nice to see Taylor back to ‘normal’ 😂 - Ben

@@wickedwerks Nice to hear Taylor, has 10 working fingers again.

[@dcmflydude6320]

Good video, I’ve watched others and you explained these systems much better

[@wickedwerks]

Hey thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. More to come soon if I can ever get the right set of cylinder heads 😂

The dots on the oil pump gears is for lubrication

[@666tokarev]

Great series idea!

[@markj.7369]

Awesome series Taylor. God Bless

[@mtozzy11]

[@666tokarev]

The thing with the flywheel is real talk guys!

[@dontheplumber9338]

Thanks for the education

[@VWJawbreaker]

Good details 🤙

[@wickedwerks]

Thanks dude! I never second guessed myself so much until I started posting things on KZbin 😂

[@VWJawbreaker]

@@wickedwerks man I feel you on that!

My car is a 1969 Type 1 Standard (single relief). I am rebuilding it stock. But, I want to add dual port heads, doghouse oil cooler, oil cooler shroud, and 87 mm pistons. What non-spinon oil pump do I add to give the best oil circulation for my engine? I am building stock, so just want a slip in place better pump. I am adding electronic ignition, but other than what it is listed it will be stock.

[@wickedwerks]

The stock oil pump will be more than adequate for a stock engine.

How much deck height does the engine have? CB performance, has a engine calculator compression ratio link, in case you didn't know.

[@wickedwerks]

I can’t recall off the top of my head what the deck height was at the time of filming. I was using CBP calculator. With the current deck height and the chambers on the heads I had, the compression ratio would have been 6.8:1.

[@mysterymonkey]

What would actually happen if you used more than 3 shims? I can’t think of anything? You would still get the lubrication between them all surly .

[@wickedwerks]

In true ignorant fashion, I’ve never looked into it and just continued on what I was taught 😂

[@mysterymonkey]

Well I’m the same and only used 3 on my 2276 but can’t quite get it in limits, everything is brand new. Then I saw a few people saying you can use more than 4, I fear that’s my only way out of this strange situation!
