I am talking about the replacing the internal transfer pump, not adding a lift pump. The inlet pressure is pretty much constant without a lift pump isn't it? The only ways I can see to increase the internal IP pressure would be 1) increase fuel viscosity 2) decrease the size of the outlet orifice 3)...

NOOB HERE: If your pump internal pressure is low, would getting a new transfer assembly (rotor, vanes and stator plate) be the best fix? This is assuming there are no leaks.

Where do you get the rubber oil pan gasket? I have the rubber valve cover one and love it but I didn't know there was one for the oil pan.

I don't see how you know it is the oil pump when you aren't even running a pressure gauge. The oil pump may be fine but just running on the borderline of gear lash. Have you tried increasing your oil viscosity? My neighbour gets next to no oil pressure in his 1.6TD yet the head is well supplied with...

I am running 5W30 dino after my rebuild and oil pressure is less than 10 PSI. My pump is within spec and intermediate bearings are new. I'm just saying these cars are very sensitive to oil viscosity. With that said, I just bought a new 36mm oil pump and will run 0W40 synthetic. Better to play it saf...

That's a great find! Keep the rust off it and your grandkids will be driving it.
