As with Bruce and Bob at rebuild of a BJ8 engine I added DWR
hcpump in 2000, although I sold the car in 2016, I assume the
current owner will verify that oil pressure during driving still
ranges from 55 to 60 psi and at idle 20-25psi. As Michael has
stated if the correct bearing clearances were met during rebuild
there should be no issues.<br>

<p>I'll offer what I know/have heard*. I have the 'high
capacity' type in my BJ8, which is what the DWR techs/sales
people recommended for a road car. Older 6-cyl cars had a
rotor type pump. They (the rotor type) are supposed to be
more efficient--i.e. they pump more oil--at lower RPMs. At
some point it was discovered, probably from service bay
repairs, that this type of pump put an excessive shear load on
the bevel gears on the cam that drive the pump, causing them
to wear out. Later cars started getting the gear type pump,
which is less efficient at lower RPMs but puts less of a load
on the cam, and is probably less expensive to manufacture as
well (esp. if the gears are the sintered iron variety). I
think the bevel gears on the cams were re-engineered, IIRC
they got an additional tooth to spread the load.<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p>The Welch HC pump is the rotor type. I did a full engine
rebuild and installed the DWR HC pump; I didn't notice any
pressure change worth mentioning--I 'gained' 15 PSI at idle
when I had my gauge overhauled--but the 'high capacity' I
believe refers to volume rather than pressure (which, of
course, is mostly dictated by engine speed). The 'standard
type' pump is a gear type, hence it's more appropriate for
high-RPM race engines as pump flow is proportional to RPM, and
at 6K RPM or more you'll get plenty of oil with less load from
the gear type.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I'm not positive, but if you look at the photos closely, you
can see the 'gallery plug' on the top of the case. I suppose
it allows inspection of the innards of the pump without having
to break the case. I believe it's threaded so not likely to
pop out. If you're getting a new pump you'll likely need a
new drive shaft and, surprisingly, DWR sells it cheaper than
our (US) vendors sell it at (I think they might import the DWR
shaft).<o:p></o:p></p>
