| RE: Yet another question, (on oil pumps) |

It's really a question of your total engine oiling system, Josh. It depends on oil control and finish machining. If your bearings are on the loose side, they you'll probably need a little extra pressure and volume. But you must have good oil return and pan capacity. If the bearings are on the tighter side, then you'll do fine with the stock pump or a high volume pump. You have to look at the entire system to come to a good decision for your engine.
For the record, I'm using the Milodon HV/HP pump, 7qt pan and pickup, an ARP shaft, and FRP windage tray. My bearings are on the loose side and I have good oil return. I've had no problems. My hot pressure at 2k rpm is 65lbs. |
