The original starter motor is fine when overhauled properly and much
more durable then a modern so called high torque starter. A H-T starter
may use a bit less amps but it will not really spin over the engine much
faster. It will make more revs than the old one because it has reduction
gears so it sounds as if it spins the engine faster but in reality it
does not or barely.
If the oil drops to 20 psi at hot idle I would not worry. This is quite
normal. Check the oil pressure at say 2000-2500rpm. For most engines it
should be around the 50-60 psi. Check the specs in your WSM.

I will replace the starter. Many of you have recommended a gear
reduction starter which is available from Moss and others. What
source do you recomend.? Also, I see it shows an additional
bulge which must be the gears. Will it fit into my BJ8 engine
compartment without having to remove the engine? As it is I
will have to take out the tunnel to get to the starter bolts.

<div>Another item I should have replaced when I rebuilt the
engine was the oil pump. When the engine is hot the oil
pressure drops to less that 20 psi at idle. This engine was

what oil pump should i install and is the Moss pump a
reasonable replacement?</div>
