My nice 13mm pump that I bought is setup for self contained oiling. The oil drains on the front are welded shut, has a shaft seal, and has drans cocks on the cam section and gov housing.

After talking to the guy at St. Joseph today. We're not sure if it can be ran on the street. Kinda 50/50. We do know it will cost more to ship it then to switch it back to standard oiling.

Questions:

Can this even be streeted?

How often will the pump oil need changed?

Any ideas on what oil viscosity to use and synthetic or regular oil?

Why do they even have them setup for self contained oil?

:thankyou2:
 
There are several people that do it. As long as you dont get to much oil in it, it wont heat.

Use like a 50w oil.
 
can they set it up w/ a small aux cooler? even a little pump elec pump if you need to, even if that costs a few hundred, still better than a new pump.
 
I have one of these and It takes synthetic oil 10/30 and it is suppost to be changed after 6 to 10 passes and they do it so if anything goes wrong with the motor it won't affect the pump. I don't think it is streetable at least for long distances. Alot of these pumps have an ag gov. and there definatly not streetable.
 
We looked at it as some older tractors had self contained oil on their IP's. However, it seems like the P's were designed with engine oiling for a reason....

I'm very iffy on running this. Thinking that I'll run it 200miles and do an oil analysis to see what's happening.
 
mine is an auto gov. Btw.

It only cost $75-100 for labor to switch it back. And about $100 to ship it:bang
 
the mixture we run in our pumps is half lucas and half 50w oil. idk what to think about driving one lke that?:bang
 
i still have a 13mm for sale that is brand new in the box and no one seems to want it... wtf...?
 
I was thinking (bad, I know) If I was to take an electric fuel pump, trams cooler, bypass regulator, filter, and a source a small tank that holds a few quarts.

Would it be feasible to make a separate oil system for the IP and turbo(s)? Set the oil pressure at say 50#?

Guy at work has a BG 400 fuel pump and a BG 4 port regulator for $250. That's way overkill but it will work. More money but, it will keep the exspesive stuff safer.

Thoughts on that?
 
If you're worried about oil quality, filter it between the pump and engine...but I would still rather have pressure lubrication on my 13mm pump that has a nasty habit of sticking plungers.

What you're thinking sounds like a lot of work for very little gain...besides, if you toast that engine, what are the chances that to oil pump will still be able to pump the contaminated oil into the pump?? I'm guessing the rods will make an exit and stop the oil pump pretty quick:hehe: :hehe:

What if you just put an inline filter on it, and ran it off of engine oil?
