Lawrie,
Thanks for the reply. As it turns out, I may
remove the oil pump to replace it with the
high-performance version anyway. Compression and
bottom end seem fine, though I might change
big-end bearings while I'm at it just because I'm
down there.
Do you think the high-volume oil pumps are worth
it, or are the stock pumps sufficient? Any
thoughts would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Andy
