High Volume Oil Pump
What makes an oil pump a high-voume oil pump? Is it a desgin feature that might make it produce a whirring sound when its cold? I get a whir/whine that sounds deep and centered when the motor is first started but which always goes away after 5 minutes or so of running. Oil pressure reading is always great. Thanks for any clues.

An oil pump is a positive displacement gear or rotor pump. Make the gears taller, put out more oil - pretty simple design. Most engines don't require more than a stock pump so a high volume pump will over-work the entire drive system. Your sound is probably the bypass valve dumping all the excess of cold oil from the too-big pump and the spring is oscillating and making that sound. Once the oil heats up and viscosity reduces, the bypass isn't so noisy.

Thanks, Willys. I've heard the bypass suggestion from another and am glad to hear it again from you! The link below will take you to a directory on my son's server where theres some photos of the car and my trailer. Enjoy.

Watch those Hi Volume oil pumps they will pump all the oil to the top of the engine and you will spin a bearing or worse. If your not racing stock will work fine.

high volume pump
High volume pumps are for 4x4s. You can get more oil to the top of the motor at low rpm. High rpm engines need at least a 7 quart pan to use a high volume pump.

my experience
I put a high volume pump in my motor. I kept losing oil pressure over 130 mph. I went to my local speed shop and was told to remove it. I took it out. I never used another one til my Lemans. I have a 7 qt Milodon on it. No problems.
