looking for info >oil pump cavity port.

 

What exactly are you looking for? How far to port, or what is involved?

 

the concept for what to do in order to increase oil pump efficientcies and reduce the possibility for failure.......

 

i'm looking for information on both aspects ... any help is appreciated.

 

That's a mod I do on all of my engines. You can also chamfer the edges of the pickup near where the oil pump lands but DO NOT mess with any of the flat edges or the shaft land for the pump!

Another trick is to slightly enlargen the gear bearing holes to match the oil galleys machined on the gears as, sometimes when pressing bearings in, they don't line up ...

That's not a very good picture of the mod.

It's a good picture of the portion that I did, Ted. I didn't do any other work on that front iron housing except the oil pickup tube.
