[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 13074903, member: 20202"] Having talked to many engine builders I have learned that no two opinions are alike. It can range from: Insightful To: down right bizzar. I have heard nothing but good things about L&M engines but be assured raise this topic in a room full of their peers will result in anything but a consensus. From a fit & finish perspective I found nothing wrong with the Melling pump. I was actually impressed with the precision of the gear rotor and housing assembly. [ATTACH=full]464237[/ATTACH] Being a mechanical engineer I spec precision parts all the time and very little gets past my scrutiny unless it's something I can see like the alloy or heat treatment. Things like this: [ATTACH=full]464238[/ATTACH] Your looking at where the entire output of the oil pump gets squeezed thru so I did this: [ATTACH=full]464239[/ATTACH] Every restriction you remove results in more volume and pressure down stream with the cams are last in line for lubrication. I think we are getting a bit off topic here. This is a good thread which I'm sure many of the "listeners" are getting a good perspective on this subject and its a good debate. [/QUOTE]
