Hey guys, I am trying to find out if the Melling 10295 comes with two springs just like the 10296 does.

Some sites on the internet mention two springs with the 10295 but some sites that sell both the 295 and 296 only mention two springs for the 296.

I orderd a 10295 and it only came with a red spring installed. I want to find out if one spring is missing or if it only comes with one.

Thanks,
J

I've never used one, but according to Melling it should come with both springs.

Thanks! I looked for that on their site but was unable to find it.

So I guess that means if I used the stock spring it wold basically be a M295 pump???

I have read that with the 10296 you should use the stock pressure spring unless you have a built/stroked engine. Is this the same case for the 10295?

the 295 does not come with 2 springs-

I have used 5 so far and never had 2 springs-

Just to make sure, you are talking about the 10295 and not the M295 right?

If so thanks!

I just bought a 10295 and it doesn't have any springs with it, just 2 different o rings....

That is exactly what came in mine. Funny that Melling's site says it comes with 2 springs. I ended up returning mine so I will report back on Monday when the new one comes in.

You can use the "high-pressure" spring in a normal motor. My PSI is like 60 cold/on throttle. Hot idle is just above 40psi on a 145k motor. The pressure isn't "too high" and it won't "drain your oil pan".

The 295 is comparable to a stock volume pump and only comes with the high pressure spring installed. If you put the low pressure spring in the 295 it will be stock pump volume. 296 is a high volume pump, if you put the low pressure spring in it you get stock PSI but more volume.

Ahh soorry I forgot to update. The new 10295 came in and it also only had one spring (high pressure). So basically Melling's website is wrong. The 10296 comes with both springs and is a high volume high pressure pump. 10295 comes with one spring and is a high pressure stock volume pump and the M295 comes with one spring and is a stock volume stock pressure pump. All IMHO are better quality than the stock pumps.

I thought the spring (pressure relief valve) controlled pressure.......not volume.

Correct.. the pump will flow same GPM regardless of which spring is in.

The 10295 is stock volume with high pressure while the M295 is stock pressure and volume. I am not sure if there are any other differences. Yes both are Melling pumps.

which gasket did you use. I have a 98 t/a I am working on and it is all I can do to get the oil pump bolt in the pickup tube with the green gasket.

What o-ring are you supposed to use with the 10295? It comes with a green one and a black one. There is a sheet saying it depends on the pick up tube. On their diagram it looks like we should use the green (thicker) o-ring but their black one is the same diameter as a stock one (i have a new stock one sitting next to both of them side by side).
