[Shotimes] SHO oil pump

[Ron Porter]

This is why I've said that, as the years progress, the young 'uns using the
SHO as a daily driver will be dropping off like flies. Within the VERY near
future, SHOs will be toy cars for folks with extra cash to spend to keep
them on the road. To keep them going, we will need custom-made parts that
will not be cheap.

I would think if you are going to go that far (custom parts), you'd dump the
dual materials stuff and make the housing out of something stronger.
Otherwise, an over-size gear will continue to wear the housing.

Steel housing/rotor?
