This was news to me (from Roger Moment's new book; 'engine'
section):<br>
<br>
"I have found new gear-type pumps to have one gear a few thousandths
of an inch taller than the other, and neither with the proper
clearance to the bottom cover plate. This required finding someone
with a grinding table who could make the gears identical, and then
also machine the bottom of the pump housing so that the proper end
clearance to the cover plate would result." I would at least check
this on a gear-type pump.<br>
<br>
The only knock on the vane-type pumps that I've aware of is that the
resistance was so high it would cause the cam gear driving it to
wear and eventually be stripped. I think this was addressed by
adding an extra tooth to the pump driveshaft driven gear, hence
lowering the torque on the gears. I have no supporting evidence
offhand, but I recall reading this somewhere (now if I could just
remember where I put my keys). <br>
<br>
FWIW, I have about 7K miles on the 'upgraded'--presumably
rotary-type--pump from DWM in my BJ8 and my oil pressure is stable,
and no metal in the oil. I believe the gear-type pump's gears are
made of sintered iron; which I recall from long ago caused problems
in some aircraft piston engines--Lycomings* IIRC--and I've never
really trusted them since (though my Mustang GT with 475HP has a
pump with sintered gears with no issues that I know of, but
aftermarket vendors offer ones with machined gears for boosted
engines).<br>
<br>
Side note: When my dad was a factory rep for Ford back in the
sixties, he said owners would bring their cars in because 'The oil
pressure drops at idle.' Possibly one reason why manufacturers went
to idiot lights, though I suspect cost was the major factor.<br>

<div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">The rotary vane pump
was used in the 100/6 - 26D - engines. It caused many
problems. It is not suitable for any use, contrary to what
someone may be trying to sell you.

<div dir="ltr">Not sure why but
Longstone Tyres in the UK has crazy
good shipping rates. It's not the
same with anyone else.<br>
<br>
Generally speaking when ordering
parts from the UK, it seems to add
about 30% to the total price. I
have had better luck with DHL or
Royal Post shipping for reliability
of delivery in the past... seems
customs works in concert with USPS
& DHL (Deutsche Post) to protect
USPS, so FedEx and UPS sometimes can
get hung up in customs. It may have
improved, not sure....<br>
