Abstract

See full text

A high-performance oil pump for pumping oil in an internal combustion engine that eliminates or greatly reduces cavitation in the oil pump, thereby increasing the efficiency and performance of the oil pump. The present invention provides a housing having an inlet for receiving a supply of oil and an outlet for discharging the oil. At least two gears rotatably and matingly are disposed within the housing for pumping the oil from the inlet to the outlet. A pressure regulation circuit is disposed within the housing for balancing oil flow pressure between the inlet and the outlet by redirecting a portion of the oil from the outlet to the inlet when said oil flow pressure reaches a predetermined level at the outlet in order to reduce or eliminate cavitation of oil in the oil pump.
