I was wondering if fueling cam plate with stock pump is worth the money

 

What year and bike are you looking to put one on?

 

20 triglide. Sorry forgot that

 

trike turns lot of rpm at 70 and ride in Texas heat!!

 

Can`t see how a fancy cam plate will change the revs or the temperature

 

No. If concerned about oil temps, install an oil cooler. I live/ride in south Texas and ran two oil coolers on my '02 FLHT with built all bore 107" motor; kept oil max oil temps at 220*-225* in 100* temps. The exception was getting stuck in "parade" type traffic in which case, I split lanes or hit the shoulder.

 

I was wondering if the plate pumped more oil or did anything different than stock plate. Thanks for input

 

The OE+ plate is just an original replacement while they say the HF plate moves a little more oil. The OEM plate is perfectly fine unless you're building a high HP race engine. I wouldn't waste money on it.

 

I agree with dlj, add coolers but also add head fans. The fancy plate might claim to have more flow but flow in a TC or M8 is really determined by the pump and where the oil pressure enters the motor through the lifters, oil jets, and the orifices in the plate. Make those holes bigger and you are simply dumping more oil into the motor. From what I've seen the orifices are the same size as stock.. If bigger the crankcase case floods.

Another issue that some think that going to a bigger oil pump lowers engine temps because the oil temps are lower. This is not true. The bigger oil pumps have higher scavenge to feed ratio which simply means the oil spends less time in the motor (more pulled out quicker, level lower) so it has less chance to pick up the heat..

 

Think you got your answers
