I'm fine with the close-tolerance pump. Too much oil flow I can deal with
elsewhere if it's an issue, like re-teeing the head as you say and draining
oil back to the crank case.

I can see how it would get more oil than needed, but faster than it can
drain? There's like 12 1/2" drainback holes in the casting, and the feed is
a 1/8" line? But it could be excessive at speed, but with excess pump
capacity I have room to tweak it should I see evidence of problems.



I want one of those fan controllers!! The only thing is I need two inputs.


Second input would be simple. Maybe Glen Hoag wants to make them? I don't...
