Although it is written around a big block Chevy, thought this was a good article on choosing standard, high pressure, or high volume oil pumps. From listening to Dick Patterson, I know that he recommends a high volume pump, but that is in the context of the bearing clearances he builds his engines to, which matters. I still haven't decided which way I'm going. In the continued pressure on fuel economy, a lot of the newest engines actually run variable displacement oil pumps, so they don't waste mileage pumping bypass oil into the pan. It may be out there in the too small to care about difference in our motorhomes, though.
