Higher oil pressure and greater capacity are always a good idea when tuning an engine, but essential when preparing an engine for track-day or competition use.
Fortunately, the cost of higher oil pressure and higher capacity isn’t expensive. The Burton FT1055A Uprated Oil Pump for the Ford SOHC Pinto engine costs just £68.95 inc. VAT. A new FT1057 drive shaft will also be required at £9.95 inc. VAT.
Fitting this pump and shaft will give a 23% increase in flow volume.

Ford Capri Mk1/Mk2/Mk3 1.6/2.0 1972-1987
