Objects on stove may be larger than they appear. :o

As the pictures show today I finally disassembled and cleaned my oil pump.

I have rebuilt a lot of oil pumps before including high volume big block pumps but the size of this thing just amazes me.

Its actually two pumps in one; A scavenge pump to remove oil from the motor and send it to the 12 quart oil tank and another pump that sends pressurized oil through the coolers and the motor.

I have read somewhere that these turbo pumps can move a quart of oil every couple of seconds and I would believe it by the look of this thing.

Since the 930 uses oil as a cooling fluid an abnormally large oil pump is a requirement.
