The LPI "Pacemaker" TV-1S increased inlet Pontiac oil pump - $370.00

Based on the famous and well proven Melling M54D oil pump with the longer 1.5" length gear set.
Our large inlet pump and pickup system has been designed and tested on our in house oil pump dynamometer to increase the feed of the output of the longer 1.5" gear set.

The pump comes with the following LPI features:

  • Ø .814" large capacity inlet pipe ID.  An 84% increase in area for flow through the pickup tube
  • Bolt-on pickup tube with O-ring seal to accommodate most stock and aftermarket oil pan depths
  • Machined O-ring seal on the block mating surface at the oil pump body mounting pad
  • ¼" thick hydraulic bearing grade thrust plate with integral LPI pressurized oiling circuit
  • Linear guided Siamese pressure relief spring and check ball assembly
  • Cone shaped pickup screen body to enhance oil inlet flow

The LPI "LDG" option - $60.00

This feature is our Low Drag gear set option which is enhanced by our proprietary designed oil circuit built into the heavy duty thrust plate.  The modification allows the gear set to "float" on a channel of oil thus reducing the coefficient of friction between the mating surfaces.

LPI Three Point Oiling Grooved Pontiac Camshaft Bearings

Journal bearings have typical oil characteristics of hydrodynamic friction.  The loading induced into the shaft causes the normal concentric load to shift and cause a converging gap between the journal bearing and the camshaft journal surfaces (See figure 1).

We have looked at these areas and have devised a camshaft bearing to decrease these tendencies.

Instead of the traditional single point oil entry designed journal bearing we now have a standard Pontiac camshaft bearing that provides oil to the camshaft journals in three locations.

The oiling positions are located at strategic points for maximum oiling and load distribution.

This will allow the use of increased valve spring pressure without going to a larger bearing and the added cost of boring out the camshaft tunnel in your engine block.

  • Plain bearing set PGCB-P  $94.00
  • Teflon coated set PGCB-T  $152.00
