[[:techtalk:menu|{{ :techtalk:gototechnicalmenu.jpg|}}]] ====== REF: Oiling & Lubrication ====== \\ ====== Aftermarket Sportster Oil Pumps ====== ====== Pro-Flow for 1977-Present Sportsters ====== The Pro Flow oil pump for 1991-up Sportsters was developed by Zippers according to Buz Buzzellie's Sportster Performance Handbook. ((88inchsporty of the XLFORUM https://www.xlforum.net/forum/sportster-motorcycle-forum/lubrication-and-lubricants/68354-rebuilding-a-pro-flow-oil-pump?t=454717)) \\ Billed as compact Cad/Cam design, made of 6061 aluminum, O-ring sealing throughout and modular construction. \\ The ProFlow oil pumps and accessories for XLs, BTs and TCs in the year 2000 at least were sold thru Zippers Performance as well as Zodiac International B.V. (The Netherlands)\\ These pumps are no longer in production. ((Jorgen of the XLFORUM https://www.xlforum.net/forum/sportster-motorcycle-forum/lubrication-and-lubricants/148571-oil-change-fail/page3?highlight=pro+flow#post3177632)) There were two versions for Sportsters; a 3 stage and a 4 stage. \\ In 2000, the pump was redesigned with improvements, one of which was the addition of an oil strainer cap / cover over the cam chest port. ((Thanks goes to Ebay seller, jacha6090 for the 2000 Zippers Catalog information)) \\ The drive gear and gerotor systems were improved for less drag while maintaining reportedly superior scavenge and feed rates. \\ ===== 3 Stage Pump ===== The 3-stage pump uses 3 independent gear sections for oil delivery to and fro. \\ The different stages as starting from the top down; \\ * The top section has a gerotor stage to scavenge the cam chest. Oil is sucked through the neck by the gerotors in the top section of the pump. * Cam chest strainer cap holes: The strainer cap over the cam port has holes in it's upper section for oil intake. There were 3 variations of this strainer; ((2000 Zippers Catalog information provided by jacha6090)) * **Street use**: holes are pre-drilled in circumference of the upper portion of the cap. * **Racing**: the holes were punched lower down the cap to scavenge all of the oil in the cam chest. * **Custom**: the strainer cap was left blank with no holes so the builder could drill holes to suit needs of the build. * The middle section has a high volume spur gear stage to scavenge the crankcase sump. \\ There is also an extra suction port into the spur gear cavity that is plugged with a 1/8"x27 NPT pipe plug. \\ That port can be used if someone for example wants to connect the pump via external plumbing to the sump. * The bottom section has a gerotor stage that feeds oil to the engine and plumbed just like the OEM pump feed section. \\ **Fitment**: \\ This pump is a direct "bolt-on" for 1991-up Sportsters. \\ It can be installed on 1986-1990 engines with the addition of a feed fitting kit to plumb to the feed passage in the bottom of the engine. \\ It can also be installed on 1977-1985 engines with the addition of the feed fitting kit which includes feed line plumbing and also an inline check valve. \\ Further plumbing is the responsibility of the builder. \\ Click on a pic to enlarge: \\ | Pro Flow 3 stage oil pump.

Plumbed just like the OEM pump feed section. * The bottom section has a gerotor stage that feeds oil to the engine and plumbed just like the OEM pump feed section. \\ **Fitment**: \\ Bolt-on fitment is the same as the 3 stage pump but due to the additional stage, the frame rail has to be modified to accept the taller oil pump. \\ This pump is a direct "bolt-on" for 1991-up Sportsters. \\ It can be installed on 1986-1990 engines with the addition of a feed fitting kit to plumb to the feed passage in the bottom of the engine. \\ It can also be installed on 1977-1985 engines with the addition of the feed fitting kit which includes feed line plumbing and also an inline check valve. \\ And of course, further plumbing is the responsibility of the builder. \\ ===== Parts Lists ===== ^{{techtalk:miscres:instruction_sheet_header_4.png?nolink&800|}}||| | REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR PRO-FLOW SPORTSTER TYPE OIL PUMPS ((parts list provided by Jörgen of the XLFORUM https://www.xlforum.net/forum/sportster-motorcycle-forum/lubrication-and-lubricants/68354-rebuilding-a-pro-flow-oil-pump?t=454717)) ||| |**These are Zodiac NL part numbers** ||| |721756|Rebuild kit|For Sportster type Pro-Flow 3 & 4 stage pumps. \\ Contains all clips, keys, pins and O-rings needed for complete \\ reassembly of the Pro-Flow Sportster style oil pump.| |721845|Pro-Flow main body|With gerotor set.| |721846|Pro-Flow scavenge section|With spur gears.| |721847|Pro-Flow feed section|With gerotor set for ZPN 721184| |721848|Pro-Flow feed section|With gerotor set for ZPN 721183| |721849|Auxiliary section|With gerotor set for ZPN 721184| |721850|Pro-Flow oil pump cover| |721851|Pro-Flow drive shaft|Only for ZPN 721183| |721852|Pro-Flow drive shaft|Only for ZPN 721184| |722121|Dowel pins|For oil pump set ZPN 721183 and ZPN 721184| |722069|Mounting bolts|For ZPN 721183| |722139|Mounting bolts|For ZPN 721184| |**These are Zippers Performance part numbers** ||| |613-140|Pro Flow 3 Stage XL oil pump|Comes with street oil strainer cap (filter)| |613-150|Pro Flow 4 stage XL oil pump|Comes without oil strainer cap (filter)| |613-103|Fitting kit|For 1986-1990 XL cases and all S&S cases| |613-104|Fitting kit w/ check valve|For 1977-1985 XL cases and and Delkrom 4 cam cases| |613-141|Rebuild kit|For Sportster type Pro-Flow 3 & 4 stage pumps. \\ Contains all clips, keys, pins and O-rings needed for complete \\ reassembly of the Pro-Flow Sportster style oil pump. \\ Also contains "street" filter for standard oil level.| |613-145|"Street" filter|Oil strainer for standard oil level| |613-145|"Race" filter|Oil strainer w/ low oil holes to reduce oil in gearcase| |613-146|"Blank" filter|Oil strainer w/ no holes for custom build| |613-143|Filter set|Oil strainer set w/ street, race and blank strainer caps| |613-142|Silver / bronze drive gear|Oil pump shaft gear upgrade for extreme load applications| ====== Drag Specialties ====== ===== Oil Pump Assembly (09320189) for 1991-2020 Sportsters ===== This oil pump is comparable to the 2007-up Sportster oil pump (26204-91A) with the taller scavenge gerotors. \\ However, **the parts in this pump will not interchange with the factory oil pump**.
