Taking out my oil pump...

Big C · 02-01-2010, 11:39 AM

hey guys, i have a quick question for you...i am getting ready to remove my oil pump out of my wb1 and go to pre mix. when i take the pump off is oil gonna come flowing out? should i remove the oil reservoir first? do i just leave all the lines there and plug um? and 1 more. what should my ratio be for my mix? what do you guys think works the best. thanks for the help.

Nothing should come flowing out. Remove the oil tank all together no need for it.

I run Castor927 at 32:1. Prob wouldn't hurt to prime the cylinders the first fire and run it a little heavier mix the first tank.

Buy a block-off kit. It'll come with all of the caps/plugs you'll need. I mix at 50:1.

i bought the block off kit, came with the plate, 2 screws and 2 yellow plugs. i know i have to use some gasket material on the plate and screw it in. i dont think i need the plugs because the old filter is coming off and puttin a new 1 on. i guess all the lines to the oil tank should come off with the tank and there will be no need for them anymore?

I run 40:1 mix with pretty good R50 oil. No engine mods.

(I would DEFINITELY lean out that oil mixture if you're using R50.)

Why? what's a little extra oil going to hurt? I will probably run my SJ at 25:1 with Castor, just because of water ingestion and the fact that I'm on my last bore.

I pulled my Blaster apart after several seasons of riding and using Castor at 32:1 and there was virtually NO wear.

I just think it's a waste to burn that much of that oil. It's expensive and it works well enough that it doesn't need to be run that rich.

I would thin that Castor out, too. You could run it at 50:1 (and probably even leaner) and you still wouldn't see any wear.

Nah, I'll pass. It's been working for me for a long time.

If l was stock I would thin it out to 40:1, but I'm not. I'm running this at the recommendation of the guy who built my engines. I think most guys who run bigger bore engines pad their mixture a bit.
