+ | This cover was cracked at the oil pressure switch end. \\ | ||
+ | The crack was welded over and a Dremil tool was used to reshape the cover. \\ | ||
+ | Due to warpage during welding, the threads need to be chased with a tap to straighten them back out. \\ | ||

+ | * Also, any debris picked up from the source side cavity should drop down into the feed side cavity and out of the pump. | ||
+ | * The side toward the motor is where oil is transferred to and from the pump. | ||
+ | * The inner and outer gears come together on the other side (right side). | ||
+ | * This spacing relationship doesn't change between the motor side or the outside of the pump due to the offset gearshaft. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * But in reality, debris gets caught in or between the gears and gets dragged over the aluminum flats. | ||
+ | * Some then find their way under the gerotors while the spring washer flexes from the stress. | ||
+ | * The debris spins around under the gerotors and wears scratches in the flats (pads) or worse. | ||

+ | * There should be some reduced pressure because of the scratches. | ||
+ | * Pressure generated to the output cavity can squirt back to the input side through these scratches. | ||
+ | * How much pressure loss would depend on the width, depth, length of the scratches and oil viscosity. | ||
+ | * To make the pump inoperative or not make pressure (from the scratches alone); | ||
+ | * The scratches would have to be proportional to the relative volume of all four gerotor reservoirs combined. | ||
+ | * Then, the check valve would have to accept less pressure flow than the backpressure from the pump. | ||
+ | * The gerotor surface in the cover would have to be eat up pretty bad to make the pump completely ineffective. | ||
+ | * The pump would have less pressure loss with multi-weight or straight weight oil when cold than hot. | ||
+ | * They'll both flow faster when hot. | ||
