anyone know if the "ford racing" standard volume pump has a pressure relief in it? ive got an oil pressure problem and put a new pump in the motor when i had it out.

hummm...

the issue is once the motor gets warm for awhile my oil pressure falls off and starts to flutter. going to change the oil in the car tomorrow new filter to make sure the bypass valve in it isnt stuck open or something stupid. change the pressure sensor also.
 
im pretty sure i we have a mechanical gauge at the shop im going to check wednesday when we are working on the turbo car.

the oil pump has about 1000 miles on it now
 
Hey bud, sorry I took so long. I had to leave the house unexpected.

I think it does, I am not an oil pump guru, but here are some pics I took. This is the first time I have had it out....its made of aluminum! I'm pretty sure my Melling HV that's in the motor now is cast iron.
