Message: [QUOTE="TARM, post: 1033929, member: 578"] You can go back on PSN before PSA and see numerous posts of people stripping out the threaded holes in the front cover on inline duals. The issue was getting the mounting just right and tq them down in small steps between each bolt to get a good even seal. When people stripped them out it was not the end of the world as they put inserts to allow for secure bolting. I honestly do not think its major deal for those that operate on the pavement. For me personally I hit very rough logging and forest roads. A 9k lb rig bouncing around can be a bit rough at times. Its not that I can say for sure it would or would not be an issue but when their is a choice between units that offer the same amount of flow at basically the same and in some cases lower price why would I risk it in the first place. Again for 99% of people the current dual inline hpop are not an issue as far as I know other than its still possible to strip out those holes if you are not careful. But again that can be easily addressed. The real issues with leaking were when the HPOPs were not sealed well to the manifold in between them. In the old kits those two long bolts not only sealed the front unit to the front cover but also held the units and manifold together. Now say with Joey@ Terminators they are all sealed together when the customer gets them and have been for years. I am sure their is plenty of info out there from Joey on that. Really other than some old Stealth dual kits the only inlines are from Joey@ Terminator that I am aware of so from a commercial standpoint that is the only units we are talking about I would guess. Basically BTS and Gen 3 Type setups with the off set pump mounted to the billet HPOP Res piece versus the Terminator with its inline HPOPs mounted to the stock location using extended bolts. Again this is not some proven issue just one that could be a concern for someone that has their truck bouncing all over the place. For me personally my ideal setup is dual pumps dual remote IPR dumping to the front cover 4 port feeds one to the corner of each HPOP rail. Extra HPOP Res feed line from the block Melling LPOP. If feeding a monster HPOP setup was ever an issue then I would say having a hydraulic pump acting as a oil pump that is connected via the HPOP gear thru the access port in the front cover. I know of one that was made. That would ensure all the LPOP volume one could ever need with a reg keeping peak pressure at no higher than 75 psi. [/QUOTE]
