I am not sure a 2 rotor oil metering pump will work (well) with a 3 rotor….the timing/amount of the oil metered is different…..just a thought..you don’t want to skimp on the lube oil…….

Is anyone running an oil metering pump (OMP) that can help me figure out how the lines should be connected.  I'm planning on using the Mazda banjo fittings to hook up to the OMP, but what do I do with the check valves.  Do you connect the check valves to a vacuum source or just block them off?  Will the system work properly if I plug the check valves?  I plan on locking the lever in the full open position.  Will this work for a/c use?  I'll be using Richard Sohn's adapter with a 1 gallon reservoir filled with 2-stroke oil.
