She was a hard start this morning so I opened the hood and noticed the valley with a good deal of oil in it. Cleaned it up, started it up and took it for a drive to see where it was leaking from. One of the HPOP lines was dripping tried to tighten it up and it was stripped. HAHAH freaking great. I ordered an Adrenaline with stainless thread inserts from Full Force along with new HP lines. Should be here tomorrow. $20 shipping or $50 for overnight. I figured I better pay for overnight or it might not get here until after Christmas. The instructions tell me to remove the reservoir to install the pump. Is that really needed?
Yep, pull the reservoir. You MAY be able to get the gear on without doing it, but I would not advise it. Also, I heated my gear up a bit with a heat gun to slip on the HPOP drive snout easier!
I actually now hold 3000psi on my hot street tune with that pump and my idle IPR duty cycle dropped about 5%.
Thanks. I called first thing this morning and my local parts man has one in stock. Now just waiting on the wife to pick up the gasket and the pump to arrive.
Got the Adrenaline pump installed today. First test drive I had a few tablespoons of oil in the valley. Cleaned it up and watched with a flash light looked to be a leak from the rear middle of the reservoir seal. Removed the reservoir again and re torqued to 18lbft but this time did it in several even stages. Took it out again and this time no oil in the valley. I'm going to wash it down tomorrow and make sure its not leaking. It was really hard to tell where it was coming from. I didnt want to remove the pump again to redo the entire job because of the HPOP hold down threads that are known to strip. So I'm hoping its just the reservoir. Seems like it, if the first time there was oil and after resealing it a second time there was none. 2 miles on the truck with air in the system and it pulls much nicer, 4th gear I can really tell the difference.
Still leaking between the reservoir and the base. Torqued to 18lbft. I did not reuse the old gasket I bought a new one. I could see bubbles coming out of the gap so I know for sure thats where it is leaking from. It wont start leaking until you drive it and bring the oil pressure up. This is the 3rd time I re sealed the reservoir. I'm starting to wonder whats going on. I have a 1996 so I'm using the gasket without the screen f6tz-6619-aa. I don't want to torque the gasket down any further than the 18lbft and strip out the front cover.
There might be a chance the HPOP cover might be crack already.
I looked today as close as I could for cracks and didn't see any. I'm going to put the old gasket on tomorrow and see what happens. My old gasket is flat and wider but I'm not sure if it is caused by being compressed for so long. My new gasket is round like an o-ring.
I cant seem to solve this leak. Here is what is going on. That is a new gasket and this time it was torqued to 20lbft. This is the 6th time I have tried to reseal this gasket. What else could be causing that to leak. I'm about to slather my gasket in grey right stuff RTV.
From this angle it looks like theres gap in between the gasket and HPOP, and appears that the HPOP looks to be at fault?
There is no leak between the HPOP and the front cover just between the gasket and the reservoir cover. I can see the air being purged from underneath. I watched bubbles being pushed out. AE shown a nice stable 600 or so psi at idle and DC is around 11%. The wetness you can see in the picture is just sitting at idle after bringing up the oil pressure it runs out much more.
