Julian Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) Is it possible to obtain a new ball & spring for the Oil Pressure relief valve? or is it still a case of adding a washer behind the spring!!

paulmanta Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Its not a ball.... Its a plastic piston, shaped to hold the spring in place. I think the whole assembly including the actual pump cap that bolts on is available new from a few German sellers. To be honest that is what I would be doing.

I know you mention it's a ballbearing but just in case you need the whole unit https://www.edelschmiede.com/shop/Cap-oil-pump-oil-pump-cap-complete-Opel-4-6-cylinder-cih-engines Maybe contact the shop for edlelschmiede, to see if he can get the ball bearing type for you very good grasp of English and very good on delivery.

paulmanta Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I assume then that the earlier ones were different to the later ones on the 2 litre ! We are talking about the one in the pump cover ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have a pump cover with the valve in somewhere, can't find it though!! could I fit that if I find it, and just blank off the other one?

I have sent him an email, Got to try all avenues!! Julian. I did buy a front timing case with an oil pump fro Snowy, but the ball and spring in it was knackered, he wasn't to know that as he hadn't stripped it, but fair play to him he gave me a full refund. That's what this club is all about, well worth and needed being a member. Edited November 22, 2018 by Julian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 Looks like I can forget finding a new ball, so is there by any chance a good used one out there somewhere, I think I can manage with the spring even if I have to place a washer in behind it. been a week off the road now, first time in 41 years!!! and not for what I would call a major fault!.

Exclusive Opel Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Is just a standard ball bearing? I have a tin of ball bearings I could look at if you know the size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 I thought that I had a couple that looked near the size, but on measuring they are to big, I have measured the one that came out of the engine, and it is 0.l550ins or 13.98mm. so I am keeping my fingers, and everything else, crossed!!! that you can come up with something.
