Oil flow rate
Hey, anybody know what the oil flow rate is for a 300 I6? I asked over in the oil and lube forum, but haven't been getting an answer: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...293#post871293
I did find an oil flow rate for some engine on the net and posted it over there, but maybe one of you 300-I6 Gurus would have more precise data.

Oil flow rate
Well, that's is not a so important info (As Ford Says to me once), so they don't info about that. But if you have a used pump, you can take it to a friend who know How to calculate flow rate from gears, is not too difficult.

Oil flow rate
I remember some way to get an aproximated reading.
Just get an hex rod fron a distributor to manual rotate pump. Using the suction tube let the pump to get oil from a can rotating by hand. after all air is out, put a clean can about 1 galon capacity and the turn the pump by hand while you look how many turns need to move a full oil galon from 1 can to another.
It will give you some idea. If you need to know how many oil is pumped at Idle, just remember Iddle is 650 RPM then oil pump will rotate 325 turns per minute using value obtained previouslly you can calculate it.
