RV8 Oil Flow

[Chassis 33]

Does anyone know what flow capacity the pumps in the RV8 run at?

Cheers Rev, I'm just having a bit of a thought experiment at the moment into what I would need in terms of specifications to create an electric oil pump setup, and remove need for any mechanical pump what soever. The thing that has prompted is the difficulty in obtaining intermediate timing covers (ie crank driven pump and dizzy). It has another benefit in that oil could be circulated prior to firing the engine up and left circulating after shutdown to aid cooling. Fuel pumps would have an oil pressure cut off, to prevent the engine running with no oil pressure

Just a thought atm.

Where? When I last built a serpentine motor (in 2006) I had to get one shipped from South Africa!?! Plus it would be an upgrade for pre-serp motors. Anyway like I said just a thought experiment...unlike some of my other plans

All fair points, like I said it was just a thought experiment, and looking deeper into thinks probably a no-go.
