Gear driven pumps tend to have less friction. Having too much friction can
give the gears up on the cam too much wear. Some experiments, maybe 15-20
years ago, put sprite internal parts into oil pumps. The resulting
resistance caused the gears on the cam to strip.

Subject: Oil Pumps - Gear or Rotor?
Good morning fellow listers,
Can someone explain the advantages & disadvantages of each type of oil pump?
Is one better than the other? I appreciate any help.
Cheers,
