this is the first time ive ever seen anybody fix their motor with an oil pump when the pump wont broke. i agree with most of the discussion about what a pump does except when you start talking about somehow making the pump perform a miracle on a motor with some kind of oiling problem. you'll giving the pump way to much responsibility. if you clearances are not right then the pump ant gonna fix it. the pump has to be with in a certain range but that's about it. if the pump is not worn out, sucking air, or the relief valve stuck wide open then i don't see much else you can do with the pump. ive all ways used a HIGH VOLUME pump and stayed away from the hp pumps and i believe i can honestly say oil pumps never caused me a lot of problems. Clearances,clearances,clearances is what it all about. get your clearances right, get the oil back in the pan, with a good oil and the pump will do what it supposed to. A good discussion but the pump ant gonna fix his problems, he needs to do what denny says, find the leak. JMO
