Long term effects of oil pump shimming?
Has anyone noticed any negative effects of shimming their oil pump after running that way 100, 200, 300K?
How about any specific to the CM2250?

Thanks

I just did my 2250. No answers for you. I put 6 dimes. Uni. Says probably won’t see much increases in pressure I wasn’t wanting to be to far outside the box.

My 871 recon has been shimmed since maybe it had 60k miles. Gearhead did it for me. It runs about 45-50psi. Got over 500k miles on it now, 12,000 hours. No issues

Funny thing is Cummings has a service bulletin out on their cast steel oil pump they are carrying about 50 psi ..SO even cummins raised it some.

Thanks guys, I thought I might do mine soon when I hit 750K. I plan to drop the pan, for rods and mains and figured that would be a good time to shim the pump. Just wanted some of your thoughts on the idea.
