From Demon... The oiling system is very stout and the oil pump is run at a 1 to 1 ratio (Normal oil pumps run at 1/2 speed) and is rated in excess of 10-11 GPM at 5500rpm

Hence the reason that we're only left with 1/4 quart in the pan turning over 6k RPMs... And that's with 6 full quarts in the thing!

The oil SUPPLY system is great- It's the RETURN passageways that are a bit... Um... Slow?

I used the brand new 3L oil pump that came on my otherwise brand new 3L block. Indeed it is very stout. I took it apart to ensure there were no metal shavings from when the piston let go, and put a thin film of grease on all parts when I put it back together (quicker prime, since the motor was bone dry when I cranked it), using loc-tite on all the screws.

Take the front cover of the pump off and make sure there aren't any metal shavings in there. The stock pump from either engine (3L or 2.5L) *should* be fine. If there are any metal shavings in there, make sure there isn't any wear scuffs where the gears make their pressur against the housing of the pump. If there are, get a new pump or use the one from the 3L.
