Default retarded oil pump question
If you reverse the rotation of an oil pump will it still function and just flow in the other direction? Or do the pumps only work if they rotate in the direction they were designed for?

Not sure how well it will work with the pressure relief valve.

Theres just a little spring in there that basically sets the pressure. If you reverse it, how will it be able to control pressure?

What regulates the flow on that? can you see a spring/diaphram anywhere?

What you see is what is there. There's no spring or anything. I'll go double check...
