Building a 1.6L for my Bunny and have to replace the oil pump. 247 Parts shows a Schadek 30mm heavy duty pump and a Laso pump. The pump in the car was a Laso with what appear to be 30mm gears, but I'm guessing, as I don't have the pump in front of me. My question is thus - is one pump better than the other? The Schadek is the more expensive of the two.

…I feel ill at how far we have drifted from engineering and automotive integrity. It's not just nostalgia. It's more like sorrow. For a shining moment in human history all our science and engineering blossomed to create the great inventions and designs. Now we engage in techno-masturbation like Twitter and TPMS…

I believe the Schadek pump is for the later 1.8 motors w/ hydraulic lifters.

I have a Melling oil pump in my car, and don't have a problem with pressures, even when it get's hot.
I do have to be careful warming up the car, since I have over 100 psi when it's cold. Don't want to blow out a filter or seal.
