-  * The inner gerotor spins in this same position as it is mounted ​to the gearshaft+  * In theory, no particles of any size should be able to spin around ​to the small pad due to the pressure generated by the spring washer and the gerotor spacing there
-  * The outer gerotor spins by way of the gears inside ​the cover but also in the same position to the inner gear as below in operation+  * Also, any debris picked up from the source side cavity should drop down into the feed side cavity and out of the pump
-  * The gearshaft ​is off center ​to the outside gerotors on both feed and return+  * The side toward the motor is where oil is transferred ​to and from the pump
-  * There are 8 teeth on the inner and on the outer gerotor in each set+  * The inner and outer gears come together ​on the other side (right side)
-  * This allows for the cavity ​between the inner and outer gears for oil transfer.+  * 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.

- In theory, no particles of any size should be able to spin around ​to the small pad due to the pressure ​generated by the spring washer and the gerotor spacing there+  * There should be some reduced pressure because of the scratches. 
- The side toward ​the motor is where oil is transferred to and from the pump.  +  * Pressure generated ​to the output cavity can squirt back to the input side through these scratches. 
- ​The ​inner and outer gears come together on the other side (right side)+  * How much pressure ​loss would depend on the width, depth, length of the scratches and oil viscosity
- This spacing relationship doesn'​t change between ​the motor side or the outside of the pump due to the offset gearshaft+  * To make the pump inoperative or not make pressure (from the scratches alone); 
- Left side of 1st pic below goes toward ​the motor+    ​* ​The scratches would have to be proportional to the relative volume of all four gerotor reservoirs combined

 +  * 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.
