Hey guys,
I spun a bearing on my rear balance shaft with only 2000kms on my rebuilt motor, so i removed the balance shafts and installed a new front cover and oil pump. I know with a new oil pump you should expect some more oil pressure, and that i do have. the oil pressure needle is 3/4 most the time unless im idling. is this normal for a new oil pump?, and do i have to break in a new oil pump? Ive driven the car about 100kms now since ive done the work, but ive been driving it nice, and unsure if i have to wait xxx amount of kms before i can drive it hard without it hurting anything.
thanks for the help.
