High Capacity Oil Pump

[stevewilliams]

Does the fitting of a high capacity oil pump put increased starin on the engine?

Not if the running clearance of the gears is set correctly, and you don't bump up the pressure by fitting a high pressure relief valve spring.

Will the running clearance be something I’d need to do, or should the pump come set up?

You have to set it using different thickness gaskets, but IIRC genuine Land/Range Rover gaskets are thicker than the ones that come in the kit and give the correct running clearance.

Cheers for the info.
