Hello, im a lurker that owns an RX-7 ;-)

I was just wondering what [oil] pressure the OMP[86-92] is under, if any?  I
know you folks are more keen on the engine aspects than many of the Car-based
lists out there.

[Excerpt from list discussion]
>From RXTech list:

Looking at the oil flow schematic still
leaves me scratching my head whether this port is fed return oil (low
press)
or galley oil (high press).

Thanks,

OMP = Oil Metering Pump.

None! It is gravity feed. There is a small supply line but that line feeds to
a reservoir that overflows all the time. No pressure is supplied to the OMP.
