Anyone know of one? maybe a BGM 12V water pump would handle pumping oil?

I'm just toying with the idea of cooling gearbox oil..

Hi red ghost, I fitted a 12v oil pump to my yet to be finished PK turbo project. It is used for the shell bearings in the housing. Oil pumps tend to be better build that water pumps. Oil is harder to pump than water and normally have two close fitting brass cogs to do the pumping rather than using an impeller. I got mine from from E-bay.

Yeah I hear you there mate, the one I bought was half that price. But I can't find it on E-bay anymore.
