Bulent,
There is a control valve next to the oil pump and a pressure regulator
on the Rear housing (I think that is how they are referred to). The
control
valve is a sort of safety feature set for approx 156 psi so should you
plug
your oil line you don't blow the line. The Pressure control valve
generally
dumps oil to relieve pressure around 70-90 psi (depending on which one
you
have and/or whether you have shimmed it for increased pressure).
The only thing I can think of is if you wanted more oil pressure, folks
have
shimmed the pressure regulator with some spacers - but, I would probably
not
do that as it works the pump harder.

It is the one close to the oil pump. The other one was shimmed as per
Tracy's instructions from about 4 years ago.

In that case, I have not heard of any modifications needed or necessary for
that one. Of course, you do need to find the spring and ball for it. What
is the status of your project, Bulent.

Hi Ed,
I'm all painted minus the cowlings (just in case I need cooling
modifications).
Installed the batteries and working on electrical, engine, building a prop,
ordering small and big parts. The more I work the more I feel like not
accomplishing much. The heat is on here in S. FL and I go early to the
hangar at about 5-6AM until noon. Than go back at 5PM until 9-10PM.
Couple more years of that and I will be done?
