A31Woody posted the following comment on social media regarding the performance of the new oil pump installed in one of the new engines with 17 pressure-fed bearings. I do not know what the previous oil pump was.

Went for the first drive in #557 this morning with the new oil pump installed. Night and day difference.

After getting to temperature, no lower than 10psi at idle and a good 30-35 psi at speed. I’m running Mobil 1 15w-50. SW 0-50psi gauge.
