Richard - RE oil pumps; That's the peice I am fitting together right now, the electric oil pump and it's sel. valve set to run at the same time. Been pokin' around some Indy Racing League shops of recient and the general consciences revolves around the surge tank design it seems, and not the pump itself. Kinda hard to get these guys to admitt to anything you know. Will update you via e-mail if and when I come into anything thats different from the standard design stuff. Right now I'm looking to just take a standard Melling high vol. pump and attach a motor to it, setting the bypass to go back to the surge tank. The sel. valve on the outlet side of the oil pump of course. That way the res. tank oil will keep the pump emersed in oil on shutdowns. No one way or check valves required of course. But I'm in the investigating mode right now too.
