This is probably a basic question but wanted to confirm before buying a new pump. This engine has a history of blown big end, seized rotary valve and piston. (at different times and not with me) I have completed the latest rebuild and want to ensure proper oil flow before damaging another engine.
The manual says to use an electric drill in reverse position to rotate counter clockwise at 1500 RPM for 5 minutes. On a 787 it should pump 5.7 - 6.9 mL each port. It also says the pump identification on the lever should be 06.
My pump produces 4 mL each port and the lever has 13B on it.
Has anyone checked a 787 RFI pump volume and what was the result? By the way a 10 mL syringe makes a perfect measuring instrument, the oil lines plug straight into the bottom fitting.
