Does anybody know where or what the lower galley from the passenger head goes to? Also what about number 2? |

After tweaking my test gauge to get it in agreement in between two other references at 40, 60, 80, and 120 PSI, close enough for gubment work.
Below operating temp, while the oil is more viscous and the engine is tight, I'm unable to measure a pressure difference between the two points with my ghetto tools. Then, at test temperature, I can see a slight drop at the downstream tap. Less than a bar, though.

@Ultramaroon, @solidsnake11, @Irace86.2.0
Great information guys! I've looked at and measured the lubrication system in this engine so much that I know it by heart, but that diagram helps a lot and I'm gonna populate it a little better: As you can see the way from the stock pressure switch location to the main gallery is not that long but it's VERY convoluted with many sharp turns (all the drillings that meet have sharp round edges inside). The gallery that goes from the pump to the block is the thinnest part of the whole crank feed system. Also notice *10 is not straight like they picture it but tapered from the outside to the center (probably from the use of tapered pins for casting). *4 is not a return line but the gallery that takes oil to the no 1. chain tensioner, it only exists for that. @Ultramaroon I did validate my gauges and as you have noticed, the pressure drop changes a lot with RPMs (because pressure drop in a gallery is tied to flow, with all other variables keeping the same). With my measuring setup at idle, both gauges read almost the same and the difference increased gradually as I increased the RPMs (which also validates the sensors readings) I see you get about 10 psi drop (~ 0.7 bar) at 6,000 RPMs. I'd be curious to know what crank and rod clearances your engine has, is it stock?. I figure the reason I see more pressure drop is from using looser crank and rod clearances than a stock engine (although barely out of the stock range). As a side note, remember my engine only failed when taken to high RPMs and I think it's only there that the stock lubrication system is at the edge of collapse (particularly the pump's inlet tract). This means: 1. You have a stock engine with clearances on the tight side of the range: you never have this problem 2. You have a stock engine with clearances on the loose side of the range: you might damage a rod bearing if you spend time above 7,000 RPM under load and with hot oil (tracking, etc.) 3. You rebuild your engine and use looser than stock clearances with increased power and a lot of heavy high RPM usage: welcome to my world Why use looser clearances? To increase oil flow to the crank and rods. That's no black magic and the benefits are widely proven and used in the perfomance engine building world. Would my engine have survived sustained 300 ft-lbs of torque at all RPMs on track if I had used 0.02 mm crank and 0.03 mm rod clearances? Who knows but I would consider that tight for this engine under that use, I wouldn't have built it like that for a customer.

I wouldn't put much faith in my absolute numbers but they're ok for comparative analysis. Mine is bone stock with a tad over 50 Kmi now. I am super gentle when it's cold but otherwise am not afraid of beating the piss out of it. I can run sustained high RPM using 0w20 without pressure drop because I have a massive oil cooler. Flow is manually controlled with a diverter valve to keep things in balance while I daily. Max pressure drops like a rock above 90*C and although I'm sure I'm being paranoid, I feel good about my setup. UOA helps to confirm that I'm doing it right. I forgot about the deliberate extra clearance at your main and rod journals. Taking that into account, our respective numbers jive nicely! Note your comment in bold - I gotcha. Your point about the twisted path is well noted. I feel like I've learned quite a bit this past couple days.

https://www.racingbytmg.com/wp-conte...anual_EN-1.pdf If you go to page 108 you'll see they use Elf HTX 825 10W-60 oil. These cars have stock engines and are well proven so I guess the 10W60 oil is not an FA20 engine killer. Even so I think thinner oil will allow better (closer to atmospheric) inlet pressures. I think the tests you suggest would be very interesting but to tell you the truth I don't think I'll go through the hassle of changing three different oils (including the oil cooler flush to get it all out). I had problems with 10W40, 15W50 and 10W60 oils. Always with the same clearances. I wouldn't run 0W20 oil with those clearances either, but it would also be an interesting experiment. I would've loved to have thought of the inlet pressure tap from day 1 of the first rebuild and I probably would've learned a lot and saved time and money.

They have an oil cooler as an option. They didn't include it as default among with other things to keep the initial purchase price low.

I just caught this after a few reads. Does your gut say that deserves a finish bore? Is there enough material in the block?
