Re: oil pump question
I don't know anything about V12's But I can figure things out from time to time. The pump you listed is for V6.
1. Are the V6 pumps used in V12?
2. Melling 70C pump is available all over the place.
Trivia:
3. There is a V12 external oil system available for $1800. (ThunderV12.com site)
4. The 702 V12 has over 60 parts used form a V6.
5. The famous Blastolene "B702" has a GMC V12 motor. (It's in the Peterson museum I think)
6. Gear driven pump rely on tight clearance between gears and the sealing of the chamber. Don't know the reason for the question. You must not have proper oil pressure? or you just want to be safe. Anyway: Inspection, testing and refurbishing may be necessary if you can't find a new one.
