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
