  1. ​ @invertedpolarity6890  And l remember when it was just coolant pumps. Maybe they think they are still building engines for fighters. The aircraft will never survive long enough to reach Time Before Overhaul. AKA as the driver is going to total it anyway

  2. Maybe we should go back to shaft driven OHC with spiral bevel gears. But that was more an aeroengine thing.

  3. And to add insult to injury there is the one where the drive belt for the oil pump is on the output end of the engine requiring removing the transmission. Ford iirc. The only oil pump driven dry belts that make sense are dry sump conversions of wet sump engines for racing. As to conventional ICE engines crank mounted internal gear or gerotor types are best IMO. Camshaft driven pumps via the distributor are fine for OHV engines under normal operating conditions
