Read the link I posted above for more info,in the first part of the thread
Tom, you're right on the price. I just ordered one yesterday then just saw this thread. As you know I just rebuilt my motor after having the front crank seal spring break. When pulling the main bearings it looked like water had gotten in them from a lack of vacuum due to the bad seal but the more I thought about it the more I wondered about cavitation so I bought the Titan pump along with a Jeff Johnston pan.
Do you have a source for the 5500 rpm figure for cavitation? I always wondered where the danger zone was. I currently run the Melling M77HV up about 7200 or so. Sure makes you wonder.
Thanks,
George

I have used these pumps and pans for over 13 years with "0" failures.
In the past using spur gear pumps it has cost me a fortune in engines.
The link I posted is my source for information,also I've seen and lived it.

The link talks about the failures of a spur gear pump and cavatation.
George I am sure you are heading in the right direction with the new pan and pump,I am sure you will get great service out of them as well as longevitivy of your high priced engine.Long Live The BBC,LOL
Good luck and a very smart move.You'll be impressed with the worksmanship of the pan and pump.
If you need any info George I'd be more than happy to talk to you.George,did you get the pan with the check balls,or the trap doors?
