When i had my engine rebuilt a few months back i couldn't get hold of a genuine oil pump so ended up getting a burton hp pump . I know i know they are crap and its been bugging me for ages now so ive managed to finally find a genuine one at good money

Now my question is , do i really need a high pressure oil pump ? And is it really worth faffing about with a brand new genuine oil pump if theres no real point ?

Thanks

Ross

 

i would just use the gen ford pump bud i had a burton pump and it ruined a rebuilt engine.
iirc the burton pumps are just standard after market pumps with a different relief spring i could be wrong but id put the gen ford on

 

Yes mate thats what id heard

The genuine one is definately going on for sure just wasnt sure whether id need a hp one or not

 

Thanks for the info my cvh was rebuilt with one of these 6 years ago and all been fine so far though! I will now look into this a bit more!

 

Genuine pumps...... Back in stock today! Just had a call from my local ford garage

 

Are burton pumps that bad? Ive got one on my engine, havent run it yet though.

 

Your guess is as good as mine mate , some people say they havent had any bother with them but others say they have had engine failure due to the pump . Not sure if it was the pump at fault or who fitted it though ! So rather than wreck my new engine on an £80 pump id rather bin it and get a new genuine ford one

 

Fair enough mate. See how I get on, was the only place I could find a HP pump as I'm running a 13 row cooler aswell.
