Subject:Re: 82 diesel 1.6na- Blowing out filters

I had the same thing happen on my na 1.6 in my westy way back in 93. It was the press relief valve in the oil pump.

My memory is hazy on this, but I think the galley that the piston and spring reside in the pump is capped with a pressed in plug. It might be better to get a new pump body.
