Butler Performance Pro Oil Pump vs Standard, tear down and install.  Pontiac Short Block, part 8

Butler Pro oil pump versus Standard, and why you should get one. If you missed it, check out the engine tear down episode… the bearings were toast! In this episode, “Butler Performance Pro Oil Pump vs Standard, tear down, review, and install. Pontiac Short Block, part 8” I’m going to tear apart my old 80 lb. standard pump, and compare it to a brand new Butler Performance Pro 80 lb. pump, install a new Tomahawk Windage tray, and install the pro pump too. Again, a big thank you to @Butler Performance for coaching me through the component selection process.

Be sure to subscribe for more, click here; youtube.com/fastmontysgarage?sub_confirmation=1 Also be sure to source your Pontiac engine parts from @ButlerPerformance , they have everything you need!

Ken Witzell says:

Monty, love your series, wish I had viewed more of these before my engine was complete! I am using the same oil pump as you and would like to know what weight oil you are running? Thanks!

Michael Clarke says:

Hey Mike, so, did that copper gasket come with your pump? I just received my 80lb pump from Butler (the identical one you’re using) and there was no gasket. There was bolts and lock washers, however.

Reaper Ronin says:

Appreciate All The Info…!
And all the insight from you and all the subscribers….
Totally Priceless…!
Not to many places for us Pontiac Guys..!
Thanks To All…

John Milner says:

Did you add assembly lube on the oil pump gears?

OX says:

Your the only one really putting out engine stuff for Pontiac’s. I appreciate it a lot and I’m sure the other Pontiac guys do. I’m putting together a Ram Air 3 400 for my 78 trans am and it’s been a big help

SidewaysTA says:

Nice, I'm ready for part 9 now. 🙂

nachomax says:

Great video, Mike!

Will definitely be upgrading to this pump from the standard 54F when I rebuild my engine.

Dan W. says:

Good video, thank you. Like the tips and details. Thanks for sharing your conversations with Butler Performance.

Steve Brown says:

I've used both and would definitely recommend the Butler Pro. My current pump is a Butler Pro 80psi with a 60psi cap and a shim. Gets me about 70psi and 30-35 at hot idle. The only other recommendation I have is while you have your pump apart, bolt it to the engine and drop a light down the pressure passage leading to the engine. Every engine I have had has had significant misalignment with this passage which is too small to begin with. I opened up the passage in the block (less chance of breakage) in the appropriate direction to ensure the oil pump and block passage are in alignment.

Mike Burnett says:

Looks like you still have metal shavings on your gloves!

Rickey Racer says:

This series is great. Not long enough though. I want to keep going til it's complete!

Brian Martin says:

They did not have the 60 psi pro when I ordered mine they said the 10540 is a good alternative

greg schultz says:

Thank You !!!

Dave Gentry says:

I use Mellings 54DS? On my Pontiacs. It runs 60-70 psi.

Robert Geary says:

Great video thank's
