who has pics of there ported oil pump taken apart? and where do you get the shims from to shim the oil pump? Id like to do this to this 02 oil pump for better oil flow and higher oil pressure for high rpm's.
looks like the oil pump comes apart pretty easily, but havent messed with it yet. I tried the search, but havent found ANY pics of a "ported" oil pump.
TIA

Yes, they just unscrew like any other bolt. By porting alone, my idle and running oil pressure increased by about 8 and 12 PSI respectively. I suspect that the shims are about .100" thick, but this is purely a guess. In my opinion, it's nice to have more flow rate, but I seriously doubt that more pressure is warranted. There have been some posts on this sort of thing before and that seems to be the consensus.
