The oil inlet and exit can be matched to the case oil passages.
The oil passage on my case was larger than the exit tube (the smaller of the
passages in the pump)
I opened the tube to match the passage size in the case.  I also chamfered
the edges of the tubes leading to the inside of the pump to increase oil
volume.  Pressure is controlled by the spring...
