It may not look "quite" like that, but I could definatly make it shoot, and blow smoke!!!!!


All kidding aside, what exactly does that spring thingy do? And what about it can we modify!! I've torn 3 powerstrokes to the block and never even looked at that. I'm very curious.

During initial start or cold start the high pressure oil pump receives unfiltered oil from the left side valve lifter oil galley through the anti-drain back check ball valve. once the engine starts or during warm engine starts the check ball closes and the high pressure oil pump receives filtered oil from the high pressure oil pump reservoir.
