Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What are the benefits of a high volume oil pump?
   A high volume oil pump moves more oil per revolution than a standard pump. This can help maintain oil pressure at high RPMs, especially in engines with looser bearing clearances or in performance applications where oil temperatures may be higher.
2. Will a high volume oil pump hurt my engine?
   In most well-built Chevy Small Block engines, a high volume pump is a beneficial upgrade. However, in engines with very tight bearing clearances, it might put unnecessary strain on the oil pump drive. Always consider your engine’s specific build and consult with an engine builder if you have concerns.
3. Do I need a different oil pump driveshaft or pickup screen with this pump?
   The Melling EP55HV is often designed to work with the standard Chevy Small Block oil pump driveshaft. However, you may need to ensure you have the correct pickup screen for the depth of your oil pan. Always verify the requirements for your specific application.
4. Is this oil pump easy to install?
   Installation is generally a direct replacement for the stock oil pump. However, proper priming of the new oil pump before starting the engine is crucial. Refer to your engine’s service manual for detailed installation instructions.

   Yes, we offer fast and reliable delivery of engine components throughout South Africa from our location in Alberton, Gauteng.
