Just taken oil pump off which is one of Burtons High Pressure ones, although reading up they dont have a very good reputation. Now mine has been fine never had an oil pressure probs but im sceptical about putting another one on and temped to just splash out and get a genuine ford one even though they are double the price.

Has anyone had any experience cause i would rather not have to pay £130 on a new Ford one if i dont have to

 

i did the same mate bought a burton high pressure one had fine oil pressure but heard all the bad reviews on the hp pump so went and bought a standard genuine ford pump nearly when i heard the price but still got one and haven't looked back since!

 

Ive just rebuilt my engine wiv a burton high pressure oil pump and its sweet as a nut had a new ford on another engine i rebuilt and i can honestly say there is no diffrence. only in the price!

 

fooking crap!! im not even going to start on how shit they are lol ford all the way

 

i fitted a high pressure pump to my stage 3 engine, never had any issues, gave really good pressure

 

Never used a Burton pump myself, my engine is too valuable to be killed by a poor quality pump. Sure, any part can fail but I have heard too many bad things about Burton pumps to risk it. Oil pressure is fine on mine with the Ford one, 1.8bar at idle when up to working temp, bloody good for a CVH.

 

that is good pressure

genuine ford for me all the way , same as the headgaskets ford cvh gasket is the best on the market imo. i ve only ever used ford stuff, its not cheap but its cheaper than a new engine

 

guess its worth just paying the bit extra for the piece of mind, thanks for your comments guys.

 

i used pirate parts down here but only from reputable suppliers , some of the chinese shit is just that SHITE!!! never had any issues. i up the pressure by inserting a 10mm spacer in front of the grub screw that screws the oil pressure spring in further. i run about 4 bar pressure when cold on full synthetic oil and about 1.2 bar at idle when warm

 

"its not cheap but its cheaper than a new engine" thats a proper quote.lol soooooo true!!!!!!!!!

 

ford all the way for me

 

Use a Ford one and buy the high pressure spring from Burtons, they were about 60p last time i got a spring from Burtons

 

I got an oilpump from julian Goodgrey. My rst has 5 bar oilpressure when cold and 3 bar at workingtemp on 1500 rpm. Is this good?
