Default Oil pump?
Are there any oil pumps that clear a double roller chain besides the Slp pump? Anyone know who the Slp pump is made by i heard Mellings is that right?

Are the ported pumps high pressure or volume?

There was a thread on here that a guy posted suggesting Schumanns oil pumps so I checked Them out and it turns out that Their pumps don't use a piston type over pressure relief valve but rather a ball bearing type which would be very difficult to get stuck and it should work with a dbl chain .

I looked at their pumps and the one stated with shims it clears the double chain and front cover.

Synergy has a ported LS6 that clears as well.

Didn't know the TSP was pre-clearanced. That's cool.
