if you use a high volume oil pump in a 5qt. pan will it pump it dry or will it be ok.? Thanks, Double Six:???:
where would the oil go ?
a high volume pump only pumps more oil around the engine, sending it down into the pan quicker then a regular volume pump
unless you have a high volume block that would be able to store more oil before it streams down into the pan I don't see how it would suck it dry
if anything, a high volume pump will refill the pan quicker then a regular one, those are the ones you should worry about
(go ahead, read it again, it makes sense)
Errr... No.. A high volume pump will recirculate oil within the pump itself via the relief valve and only supply more oil around the engine if the engine can dispose of it via extra clearances or oiling mods of some type. Such a simple system, but so totally mis-understood..where would the oil go ?

OK lets back up the bus.

Are you saying that at, lets say, 3000rpm, when the stocker has not yet reached its full pumping capacity, thus not yet bypassing fluid, that the HV pump with its bigger rotors at the same 3000rpm, would be pumping the exact same quantity of oil?
