im pretty sure reversing the rotation would reverse the flow since you're reversing the mechanical operation of the pump.

salesmonkey

just curious of why you want to reverse the flow? or is that the only way you can get it on?

I know this doesnt really relate to the oil pump's flow.. but

2stroke with an oil pump? help me

turbo banshee.

I dont think it will work perfectly because the timing is different, (when the oil enters and leves the pump but that doesn't mean it wont pump enough oil to keep a snail lubed. I would just make a bench tester for it

baldur

it'll work fine in reverse, but the flow will be reversed.

unless its a spring type oil pressure regulator tyhats hidden in the block somewheres, nice way t ---- something up in a hurry,

space is limited, it would fit better if I could mount the gear the other way. I have to fit this whole thing in the space below the shiney thing (water pump):





think of what website your on. :1

so are you just trying to rig up an external pump type deal? if thats the case i don't think it would matter which way it spins, but I don't know anything about springs/diaphrams controlling the flow :1

Its not exactly "rigging" I'm using an Rz350 sidecover and machining the oil injection pump shaft to fit a Honda 300ex oil pump to get the pressure I need. I just need to make the shaft on the right look like the shaft on the left and I'm done.
