Hi guys,

Before firing up for the first time my 750 Commando engine (with some JS parts inside) installed in my Featherbed frame, I wonder whether I won't have some problems of lubrification circuit due to the fact that I still use a Dominator oil tank.

The IN and OUT pipes of the oil tank are approx. 8 millimeters of internal diameter.
The IN and OUT pipes on the engine side are approx. 10 millimeters of ID and the oil pump revs twice faster on a Commando than on a Dominator.
Hence my question: are 8 millimeters of diameters on the oil tank side large enough to feed the engine and accept the return flow or should I enlarge them to 10 millimeters?

Not sure I'm clear in my question, but will appreciate your thoughts ...

No problem. The oil pump volume is still low even with the higher speed gear. Jim
 
Like Jim said, no problem. The oil pipes might be around 10 mm ID, but the ports where they go into the crankcase are only 8 mm ID.
