I'm saying I've used them both ways. I've had composite, brass, on rollers, and just plain ole 50 year old distributor gears on flat tappet cams. I've had every scenario, and they all have or had 80 psi pumps on them. I've never had any kind of gear problem with any of it.
I don't really care if people want to use a 60 psi pump, I don't have a problem with it and I'm sure it works fine. Kind of funny it's even a debate, lol. I'm simply providing my experiences with it.
I'm more surprised people aren't more concerned with the crappy quality of the Melling pumps. The bodies aren't machined flat and haven't been for many years, and they need quite a bit of work to make them right. Melling is aware of the situation. Their answer as I got straight from Paul is that their molds are 60+ years old, and they have no interest in investing the time or money to fix that.
