A couple of questions to get yer opine if I may...

Do you think cavitation affects HV oil pumps?

How does thicker oil behave with an HV pump and related gaskets?

Lastly, any info us big block guys can use? :poke: :D

Cavitation can only occur in any oil pump water pump even up to and including a fire pump on a fire truck if you exceed the supply. If the pump gears or impellers are not damaged. Using a heavier weight oil will certainly use more power to pump.
