This video shows a comparison between different oil Pressure Relief Valves (PRVs) and the modification that we make to the standard PRVs on our Alpines. This simple modification overcomes one of the weak points on Rootes engines of low oil pressure (LOP).
This isn't an original idea for us, many people have done this before in a wide variety of ways and there is a lot written about how to do this on the internet. It was also detailed and recommended in the very first UK owner's club 'Alpine Guide' publication.
The video simply shows what WE do and the effect that it has on oil pressure in our engines. We first did this in the 1980s, it is a tried and tested way of increasing the oil pressure in your engine.
It won't make a worn out engine new again but if you have low oil pressure this is a way to increase it and get some more life out of your engine before you rebuild it.
