Melling has just changed a part on the FE series oil Pumps that is causing an issue. They were recently out of stock of FE pumps due to a lack of supply of the relief valve plug. They found a supply of new plugs, but it is different, it has a small hole in it. People were calling me saying that they called Melling asking whats up. Basically Melling said the plug would be fine and NOT cause an induction of Air into the supply/Pickup side through the transfer port of the pump as it would submerged in oil. Problem is these plugs are 3 inches above the pickup. Most cars leave hard oil sloshes to back, leaving plug void of oil and inducing air. Also cars corner and trucks mud womp. FE guys want as much oil in the pan anyways, restrict things, much less now would have to be worried about a sucking sensation at around the "full" mark. BAD, Very Bad. Dont run these. Either epoxy the hole or call me or one of the other FE builders. I have the proper solid plugs. I would hate to see someone burn up an engine for a small over looked new thing. I will be making contact with Brent, Jay, Barry and Blair. I wiil sent them some plugs from my own pocket, for them to have and give you if you need them or have orders with them for FREE.

I went to install the pump and I noticed a hole in the plug behind the relief valve there should be NO HOLE in the plug. I called Melling and was told not to use the pump unless the plug is replaced with one with no hole in it, they also said there is a recall on all M57 series pumps because of the wrong plug was used which can cause engine damage when air is drawn in from the hole.

Problem with output, possibly due to design flaw recently reported by "cobra joe." Installed correctly. Primed. But no/low oil pressure, very little oil to rockers, and lots of clacking. Took out and tested with cordless drill in drain pan. Pump can just barely suck in oil with pick-up fully immersed in oil. Oil just sputters out in drops. But plug the hole in the pressure relief bung and it works fine. By the way, the original 1967 pump passes same test without plugging the hole (oil flows out steadily). The original evidently needs a hole, but not the 2022 model.

This high volume pump for the FE has the same gerotor set as the 351W standard volume pump so the argument could be made that this should have been the standard pump for the FE from the beginning. FEs are commonly knocked for low oil pressure and other oil system deficiencies. This pump is a simple remedy, especially when used with a higher capacity and/or better baffled oil pan.
