Now available to order - Front cover external oil pump system!
https://racecarphysics.com/product/gen-3-hemi-racing-front-cover-with-external-oil-pump-30mm/
Billet Aluminum 6061 Front cover for an external oil pump for your GEN III Hemi Engine. Will fit any Hellcat, Redeye, Demon, or Drag Pak Engine.
Why did we develop this kit? When developing engines for the Factory Stock Showdown Class we noticed the gear rotor pump gives out around 8500 RPM and would start to cavitate causing increased bearing wear and potential catastrophic engine failure. to solve this problem we went to a 50% driven external oil pump that would perform much better at high RPM and allow us to use a lower oil pressure at lower RPM.
We also wanted to solve issues with engine swap time. To solve this issue, we made -16 ORB water inlet and a -16 ORB water Outlet. This will allow the customer to put a quick connect style fitting on or a traditional AN fitting and hose to run coolant lines.
One more feature is a machined in timing pointer at #1 TDC. This has always been a major issue with using the stock style front cover.
