Oil pump pressure test

I conducted the test this afternoon by setting it up in the drill press on the slowest speed and using 10-30W oil. Once the air was out the needle belted the peg on the gauge quite hard . It is a 60 psi gauge. I think we are good to install it now and see how it performs on the running engine.



Your test shows what I have found the STOCK pumps put out very good pressure that's why the STOCK pump is know as the 80 pound pump.
The 60 PSI at the slowest drill press speed is impressive.
Your engine rebuild will be fine with your tested pump.
