What oiling mods are you making that consume oil volume?Is it necessary and/or helpful to switch over to high volume oil pump when you install a dual remote oil filter setup on a stock small block with mild heads/cam?
I'm adding a remote dual filter setup for a couple of reasons, mainly because I'd like as much cold oil on start up to be actually filtered as possible instead of being bypassed.
I don't ever use hv oil pumps on tight clearance bearings or stock engines, never found it necessary. But, with the addition of the extra filters and tubing I read that it was a good idea. Since I don't know much about volume changes and when they are necessary, thought I'd ask
I am considering dual remote filters on my 440 motorhome for cooling and extra capacity . A switch to a HV pump may not be a bad idea in my case.
I would be more worried about the oil pressure drop across 2 filters.I am considering dual remote filters on my 440 motorhome for cooling and extra capacity . A switch to a HV pump may not be a bad idea in my case.
I considered that but ground clearance is a concern . It it used mostly in the back country and I often have to navigate rocky rutted terrain .You are better off using a bigger pan to gain oil volume.

HV pumps are meant for applications that consume oil volume i.e.
Bearing to shaft clearance's
Leaky lifter bores
Push rod oiling
Oiling spray bars
Holes in pistons and blocks, oops I didn't say that.
Motorhome
built a lot of them
Big Oil cooler plate type is big - forget s shaped tube and fin
you can get them off ford trucks at pick a part cheep
which sump do you have- truck
and the big pan is a great idea but in your case maybe a road race pan good luck i
if you have it apart - windage tray really apart hemi size pickup- you have to retap the block or run external pickup
I have dual x long chevy filters on my boat for the reasons stated
so you have to go full remote off the pump
what the heck is under a motorhome that can't fit a wider pan

Considered that as well . A high volume / high pressure pump might be the key . And RPMs rarely exceed 4k ...
A stroked RVTo me it doesnt look like there isenough room for the wider road pan .
The dual remote seems to be an easier/cheaper solution even if there is a pan somewhere that could fit .
Eventually I would like to rebuild the engine and possibly stroke it . But I just ordered new suspension and SD coils for it .

Exactly.If you have a problem with high oil temps increasing oil capacity only increases the time it takes for the oil to overheat.
