Hi Bob, I sent one pump to Rusty and he should have it today or tomorrow.
There are two versions. http://enginegearonline.com/gepuforoilfu.html
Same pump head, but one has a larger motor. For the small amount of oil you
will circulate, the smaller one will be fine. But again, it is an electric
motor, and sooner or later they may fail?
Get a second opinion from Rusty too :)

Hi Buly,
I have a sort of unique situation that wouldn't apply to most anyone
else. My MM plate (NOT the one supplied by Tracy) has a slight
problem. The recess for the rear seal was machined a few thousands too
large. The seal was not a press fit so I agonized over what I was
going to do with it (last year sometime) and finally decided to hold
the seal in place with Proseal. I don't think there is a lot of
pressure there, and I don't think it would leak too fast if it did come
loose, but I won't know until it happens. I might be surprised. If it
were to leak, I would prefer to not be pumping engine oil overboard
risking the engine as well as the redrive.
As a side benefit, I suspect the redrive would run cooler if I weren't
pushing hot engine oil thru it. That should be better for the
redrive. If I were to do it, there would be an oil reservoir, pump, and
small oil cooler.
I might mention that I will have at least 15 hours of ground time on
the engine before even thinking of flying it.

Buly, do you have a pump that would be suitable for that application?
