Hello A 7 qt pan with a HV pump will be OK!We have ran them for years on our drag cars and street cars!(high PRESSURE) is not good!!!! for your bearings. HV IS THE BEST! WE ALWAYS USED MELLING PUMPS (M63HV)MANCINI RACING HAS THEM FOR $70.95 high pressure will push the oil off of your bearings, high pressure is good with a water hose when you or washing the dirt off of your car or truck!!
Which is why you don't need a high volume pump.

To the original question; an oil pump pumps oil through clearances in certain places and creates oil pressure. A high volume pump does not pump a single milliliter more oil with a certain oil pressure than a regular pump. If it pumps more oil, the pressure will raise. What the hi volume oil pump does, is retain oil pressure better with bigger clearances or if problems occure. As long as there is oil in the pan for it to suck. I have always used hi vol pumps, the current engine has the limiter at 7800, makes over 1500 hp and has 7qt of oil in the pan.

I'd get rid of it, you want pressure not volume.
Pressure is the by product of flow vs restriction... you want flow.... to the OP.. if you have a 7qt pan(pan itself), thats a 8qt system... it will work fine... I had to run a high volume pump but it has a standard pressure spring in it... my SB has multiple leak points(mains are .0028, rods are .0025, roller lifters with EDM holes and PR oiling) so with the standard pump it was a bit lower than I liked for a street/strip car

Put sealant on the threads of the intake bolts will stop the oil seapage.

If the MODS did their job I would not be hitting the notify MOD button. LOL

Thanks guys The oil pump is good but would like to change the spring to get alittle bit better oil pressure. The oil pan is a 7qt home made pan and yes with the filter it makes it a 8qt system. The pan needs some work. I'll make sure to get a good oil filter. The heat cross over on the w-2 heads is a opening in the middle on the intake port side that's about 1 1/2- 2" deep that doesn't go anywhere. We had a decent amount of oil laying up in them. Could be the falt of the intake gaskets and being that they were some home made deals from who knows when. Who ever made them must not of made them right. I think the brad penn oil isn't bad compared to alot of other stuff. Last time I knew they were selling it for 6 bucks a quart.
Sounds like the bottom side of the intake might be sucking oil in... check the angle closely with feeler gauges at all 4 corners, top and bottom to make sure the angle is right... and make sure you close those stupid cross over ports off

There it is. Technically, it is pumping more oil, just not to the bearings, just through the bypass, wasting more hp than the standard pump up against the relief.

HV oil pumps tend to make better pressure @ low RPM with hot oil, the rotor of a HV pump is larger,
Correct
Quote:
Hi volume pumps also remove heat faster than a standard pump at the cost of consuming more HP to drive them. On a tight new engine a standard pump works fine, On a loose engine or a larger engine the Hi volume works best, providing the pan has the capasity for the flow.
Incorrect, except maybe at lower rpm and pressure when it does not matter. Once your into the relief spring, there is no more oil passing along key engine components. And in fact, the Hv pump is actually putting more heat into the oil when it is beating it around in a circle.

An HV pump will pump more oil and, all other things being equal, will put out more pressure.
However, if the oil pressure relief valve opens at, say, 60 psi, and your standard pump will give you 60 psi at cruising speed (or higher), then switching to an HV pump won't give you any more peak pressure; all it will do is funnel extra oil back into the pan. It will give you more pressure at hot idle if that's important, and if a stock pump only give you 10 psi at hot idle and the HV gives you 30, you might want to switch.
On the other hand, if the standard pump only gives you 40-50 psi max (with a 60 psi relief valve), then switching to an HV pump will increase oil pressure at higher speeds, not just at idle or low speed. And in a motor with large bearing clearances, this may very well be the case.
Whether the HV pump will actually increase max pressure depends on the relief valve, bearing clearances, etc. And whether you need or should want more pressure depends . . . .
