Not to you in the beginning of these discussions (stared in the motorcycle thread about gear shift feel) ... because it took literally pages and pages of discussions before you realized that pressure fed bearings actually flow more oil than non-pressurized bearings. Want me to post up all your quotes showing that you never once discussed flow due to supply pressure, but instead always maintained the claim that the bearings only "draw/suck" what they need to make up for side leakage ... regardless of what the supply pressure in the gallery is.

We're not talking about the "role" of the oil pump, we are talking about pressure fed bearings. More diversion.

But digital Zee0Six, with the "if not then this" strawman....well you know where that came/went.
So what, the point is that pressure fed bearings flow more oil regardless if they "need it" or not - we've been down that road multiple time. But you always seem to divert to change the argument when you don't have traction on the one at hand. I maintain that designers have the supply pressure variable as a design factor if needed, and it very well could be needed depending on other bearing design variable which might be limited if extra temperature control is needed. Talk about grasping at straws with your strawman arguments.
I shouldn't even answer your questions because you never answer the many questions I've asked you in these discussions.

If you know anything about fluid dynamics you'd know that any time there is fluid flow
through any path that there is a level of flow resistance. So yes, all oil paths within an engine are restrictive to flow. Why do you think the PD oil pump creates pressure when trying to force oil volume through the flow paths. You don't think the engine's oiling system, including the bearings, is restrictive to flow? Not another misconception in the making ...

If the surfaces of the pistons, cylinder walls, heads, etc are
hotter than the oil, then of course heat is conducted into the oil - it's basic heat transfer. Your misconception is that you think a cooling system will carry away all the heat of combustion even at max HP levels, but that's simply not true regardless of how well the cooling system is designed. Therefore, at high HP levels the oil will absorb additional heat from combustion and the oil temperature will rise even more - just like all the examples in the technical papers on sump temperature rise show. Why are you still on that merry-go-round? ... seems you still haven't grasped that simple thermodynamic concept.
