high pressure oil pump
ok so about 3 years ago i was new to engine building and didn't know anything at all compared to what i know now... i was building a 302 for one of my many cars and was trying to go mildly high performance... well at the parts counter they didn't have any stock oil pumps when i was picking one up... so i made the stupidest mistake and bought a high pressure oil pump because it was on the shelf and sounded like it'd be better for my engine.... little did i know i'd have countless problems of oil coming out of my oil filler cap, shooting my dipstick out of the tube and blowing thru gaskets.... so I'm wondering now if theres any way to decrease the oil pressure without pulling my engine... or should i just pull the pump and buy a new one?
