Re: If you have the Olds oil pump, how much oil do you put in when changing oil?

I have just fitted the High Volume Olds pump kit from Jack Vines into my 56 Patrician and I am delighted with the results. However, I accidentially overfilled the sump by about an imperial ( 20 Fluid ounce) pint and note that when parked on steep downhill driveways, there is a "rumbling-fluffy" noise when the front crank throws strike the oil. It also occurs in similar circumstances on my 54-327 engine installed in my 38-120 Richards. It is not annoying or deleterious and many people would not even notice it, it is just good to understand what causes some "odd" sounds coming from the engine. Best regards Peter Toet
