Thanks again. I love hanging with Ed. My joy to bring you along.

Good video Ed, so many problems that could solved with a little thought, cam center very important!!, sonic check very important, you can always offset the bores, that would make a great video, thanks Ed from a kid of 69 years lol.

11:06 the over pressure relief could be opening, or cam bearings and i don't care for a high volume oil pump either,unless the clearances are wide. First thing id do is try thinner oil, then if that has poor outcome, try 20w50

As far as what applications that might be used for idk but I’m fixing to use one that’s bad shifted and bored .060 for a wrecker which of course will be low RPM I’m hoping it will be okay but I am concerned about overheating.

Have you guys ever did a segment on the difference between a high volume oil pump and a high pressure oil pump? I'd love to hear that.

High volume has bigger rotor gears and moves more oil. High pressure just has the pressure relief set to open at a higher pressure.

I will tell you it took a couple years of talking to him before he decided he was willing to start letting go of some of the things that he has kept to himself for so many years.

People nowadays are not Mechanics... they're part replacer's! Our youngest just got a 3000gt overheating & a leaking radiator. He said "i need to save for a new one." I told him "how do you know, you haven't tried to fix it?" 🤯 Then i started thinking & asking people if they new anyone who has fixed a radiator? NONE!... How about a starter,...alternator... anything??? Parts are 50/50 shot you'll have to return to parts store after installing & removing A NEW ONE!!! 😡 I TRY TO FIX EVERYTHING, cause chances are you'll be changing it again within a year 🤔(maybe twice! )
