Oil pump ? for the B series gods...
I'm getting ready to put my non-tec together...b16a bottom with the LS head for now...and i'm having an issue. I've been having a hard time trying to get a b16 oil pump (the block only has the rotating assembly on it), and Honda themselves want a monster nut for a new pump. I still have my LS oil pump that will fit on, but would it even be worth it? I used to do a couple of spring change tricks with my old D-series oil pumps that up the oil psi, but I don't know if the volume would be upped as well. This motor in it's current setup will never see over 7800 rpm due to the head, so should i just keep hunting for the b16 pump or just re-adjust the LS pump instead?

i have a gsr oil pump with about 12K mile son it for 20 bux +ship if you want it homey
the LS pump is just not adequit enough to give proper oiling, hence the main reason for so many spun rod bearings |
Re: Oil pump ? for the B series gods...
so when you guys do these ------ b16/ls combos, do you block the port in the block or just say ---- it and hope the head/gasket will be fine? I would think some oil seapage would happen on the oil feed corner (for vtec)

I'm pretty sure it's a 5/16" plug. 3/8" is too small. That's the only part of the block that the LS HG doesn't cover.

A stock LS bottom with a vtec head i know can't handle the extra oiling needs, but it's not gonna have a vtec head on it just yet. But still...y change the pump twice :-\

do the pump now. or in a few weeks when you spin bearings you'll wish you did.
