TA Performance does not recommend Hi-Volume, Hi-Pressure oil pumps for most combinations due to the increased load they apply to the front of the camshaft. This extra loading can lead to excessive distributor gear and drive gear wear, distributor gear pin breakage, and front cam bearing failure. OILING SYSTEM www.TAPERFORMANCE.com TA Performance Products, Inc. 480-922-6807 Order and Tech Line 65 Stock Type Oil Pumps Hi-Volume, Hi-Pressure Oil Pumps The key to an effective Buick oil system is a properly set up oil pump, which begins with a replacement gear set.

TA 1504A next page TA offers Hi-Volume, Hi-Pressure oil pumps. These oil pumps increase oil circulation via 1/4 longer gears. Ideal for severe duty applications, and engines with excessive bearing clearance. TA HIGHLY recommends the use of a stock relief spring or a TA 1502 adjustable regulator when using hi-volume, hi-pressure oil pumps. Part Nos.

TAs Oil Pump Recipe. The best oil pump combination for stock, restoration and street/strip set ups is the use of a stock oil pump gear set such as TA 1507 or TA 1508 complimented by a TA 1510 Booster Plate and a TA 1502 Adjustable Regulator. These three pieces in conjunction with a good original timing cover or a TA timing cover and oil pump end clearance of .002 to .003 will provide proper oil pressure and volume throughout the entire power range for most applications. TA 1704 Shim kit is highly recommended for setting up proper end clearance. Booster Plate Kit Recommended with any oil pump re-build. The booster plate kit will provide additional oil pressure throughout the rpm range, especially at idle. Eliminating the tendency of the steel gears to chew into the aluminum cover, this ductile iron plate will make the pump more efficient at low rpm. The steel plate also acts as a girdle reducing the amount that the aluminum timing cover expands when hot, keeping pump clearances tighter thus resulting in additional pressure. Includes booster plate, gaskets, bolts and instructions. Fits 198-215-225-231-252-300-340-350-400-430-455. Also available : TA 1510A, TA prepared Booster Plate.
