What material, what oil pump?

Bonze gear. Indy single line pump cover with the Melling thick rotor pump. 5w20/30 JR1 synthetic. Cam endplay is controlled with a Jessel belt dive.

I am sure that 5W20 helps. Its amazing how much that eases the workload on that gear. I know I had to adjust my idle speed back down when I went from 15/40 to 10W30 on my old engine.
