  ***** There were two different approaches discussed here:

1. Use the metering pump just as a circulation pump thru a small 
cooler, but still using splash feed. ( splash lube is OK for gearboxes, 
remember that 99% of car manual gearboxes use splash lube), and,

2, Use the metering pump pad/drive, to run a small pressure pump to 
spray lube and circulate oil thru a small cooler.

Both could be unnecessary, and just add to complication, weight, and 
another point of failure . As someone said, "solving a problem we don't 
have"
