So, moving from one post to another, "Why the difference"?

A larger bore Has more Volume although a smaller bore Will have more pressure, and more Force.

Agreed, thats why when you fit an uprated oil pump to a racing motor its a Higher capacity pump , not a Higher pressure pump.

No, the pump provides flow.
Pressure is only generated when the flow is restricted.

Hi Guys,

May have been lost in the fauna of other postings, so once again, Does A pump such as a Power Steering pump provide Pressure?
