We have refill the engine with 20 W 50 oil.
Now, the noise comes when the engine is cold, then it goes away ... for 10 minutes. Then noise again ... ![]() Is the Oldsmobile oil pump the only solution or is it an other ? I we change the hydraulic tappets ? I plan to revolve it in 2016. Could not stay as is. The engine has been restored less than 10 years ago.

I sold over 60 Olds oil pump adapter kits before I turned production and sales of it over to Jack Vines. I had 100% satisfaction (a lot of feedback) in correcting low oil pressure and severe tappet noise problems. It's not an expensive solution either compared to new tappets or an engine overhaul -- once you get the oil pan off (itself a PITA). craig

By the way, I did some fluid dynamics calculations for Ross's modification. Assuming the shaft has an average amount of wear, it's only about 1% pressure loss.
