Oil system myths

A couple of my thoughts.

1.The bypass inside the small block Mopar oil pump and the big block oil pump does not release the excess oil pressure back into the pan. The bypass opens up, that drops the pressure of the oil circulating through the pump, until that pressure drops to where the bypass closes back up and continues its job of monitoring the pressure.

2. You can run a high-volume, you can run a standard pump, you can run an extra extra high volume pump and it won't make much difference if you do not increase the size of the pickup tube. You are pulling that oil through a 3/8 npt hole.

3. The bypass spring in a stock oil pump and a high-volume oil pump are the same spring.

4. We should not forget that one of the reasons for the oil leaks inside the motor is to pull heat away from the rotating and moving parts.
