What are oil pump gears for?
The oil pump used on the Ford Mod Motor is a gerotor design with an outer and inner gear setup. When the gears rotate, the intake side separates creating a void between the gears, which creates a vacuum that sucks in the oil. The oil is then moved to the discharge side through the gear motion.

Can a gear pump be rotated in the wrong direction?
Therefore, always check the oil level with all cylinders in the retracted position. If a new pump is installed and pressure will not build, the shaft may be rotating in the wrong direction. Some gear pumps can be rotated in either direction, but most have an arrow on the housing indicating the direction of rotation.
What happens when a hydraulic pump does not get enough oil?
When the pump cannot get the total volume of oil it needs, cavitation occurs. Hydraulic oil contains approximately 9 percent dissolved air. When the pump does not receive adequate oil volume at its suction port, high vacuum pressure occurs.

When do you Know Your oil pump is about to fail?
It’s a rare case but happens nonetheless when the pump is about to fail. Listen carefully to hear if there is any whirring or whining sound is coming from under the hood. It typically happens when the vehicle is idling. It’s a sign of the deterioration of the pump’s internal gears.
How do you adjust the flow of oil in a gear oil pump?
Turn the dial to adjust the flow from 0. 1 oz. to 0. 2 oz. per cycle. Pumps have a low-level switch that triggers an audible alarm and can be wired to additional, external alarms. Use metering valves (sold separately) to adjust the flow of oil to multiple lubrication points.
