Seems to me there's one important consideration that hasn't been much
addressed in this high volume oil pump discussion: With our gear pumps,
the volume passed is directly related to the engine speed. I suspect Dick
Paterson's affinity for the high volume pump is at least partially based on
the low speeds at which we operate our engines.
JMHO,
