Re: Oil circulation time
There are 16 teeth on the pump plunger and with a two start worm on the crankshaft, that's 8 revolutions of the engine for one 'cycle' of the oil pump. I haven't measured the feed pump displacement but it's tiny, probably less than 1cc / cycle. That's an awful lot of kicking!!
