    Chryco I was reading a post on someone engine and you favored a high pressure oil pump instead of high volume  Just curios why it is a better choice thanks justin

    the high volume pumps have pumped to much that it starved of oil(all the oil reserve is up in the top).. that floods the valves...

    with a stock pan on a long pull you can take out main or rod brgs due to starvation , with a 12 qt pan I doubt there would be a problem , I ran mine for ten years at 7200 RPM with a HV & a 12 qt pan
