Just one of the many things we are looking at.
I believe you can control the pump volume by choosing different pumps.
Weren't you the guy who argued that the GT3 oil pump in an air-cooled engine wasn't overkill?
Henry Schmidt was saying GT3 oil pumps in early air-cooled engines were "inappropriate" and you questioned the use of that terminology.
Oft times, experience has it's value.
