what is the advantage of a high volume pump vs a standard volume. i have to replace mine again...not happy but just curious if there is a advantage to running a h/v pump

 

High volume pump puts out... more volume.... So, in older engines, where clearances are getting to the upper limit of 'acceptable', you still maintain good oil pressure.

 

I installed one in my truck because all the cool kids are doing it.

 

i currently have one but guess when doing the intake i knocked something down there and its clogged this pump. so i was curious if i should up the 20 bucks again or not to upgrade to the h/v....but hell i think i will cause i know i wanna be a cool kid

 

I put one in my truck, simply because I have 168K miles on it..... (that, and a certain person, that holds a grudge, dropped a rag into my motor while it was sitting at the shop, and it clogged my pick up tube.) Had to drop the pan anyway, so, figgered might just as well upgrade while I was in there.

 

that quote right there is y i do all my own work i just dont wanna risk it...and i am cheap lol

 

you might as well. but i didn't think it was that much price difference. wtf.

i was not aware that increased volume translated to increased pressure?

 

yeah that part kinda confuses me cause i know there are high pressure pumps standard and high volume...but it kinda makes sense more volume means it pushes more oil so it should be more pressure

 

Great link regarding pumps. Check it out
