The other will be higher pressure and better because the gears will be made of aluminum instead of steel. As you know the 2 metals expand at different rates as they heat up. With the gears being the same material as the housing you don't have that issue anymore. There is a guy fixing timming covers by resleaving them with SS incerts but that's not a good idea for that same reason. The incert is incerted in aluminum. Following this?

> Is this a high volume or high pressure setup on the oil pump. With the spacer it sounds like one of those TRW high volume pumps that were sold in the late 70's and 80's. You have to be carefull with a high volume pump as it may drain the oil pan of oil and then starve itself since the oil cannot get back into the pan fast enough.

I agree about the stainless sleeves in the front cover with different expansion rates. One more question. Will you be offering different bypass spring rates to regulate the oil pressure? To much oil pressure is as bad as not enough as it erodes the main bearings. I know I know I am an old pain in the a$$ but I got to ask. Sorry.
