Picture: Return Oil Pump, Royal Enfield Bullet
I've gone on so much about those oil pumps I thought I'd post a picture. I almost wish I hadn't taken a picture now because it makes it look really rusty. I promise it didn't look that bad and yes, they were brand new. If I had it to do over again I think I would have tried to clean it up a little better. Sure didn't hurt the performance and that is why I have to go back to stock. The high output pumps throw so much oil on the top end that oil runs down the valve guides and gets burned (so I'm told by the experts). So the idea of cooling the engine with higher output oil pumps isn't going to work for my REB. Maybe someday if it gets to the point of needing a rebuild I'll add some performance parts and will try the pumps again. For now this is about it, I'm just going to ride it like it is.
