This is a cast iron unit and shouldn't be used in a open domestic water system.
No, Low water pressure can be caused by partially closed valve, corroded piping and in some cases Backflow preventer.
You should not have any issues with a dab of oil.
Since the grease is very viscous, the bearings may be starved for oil. You may want to remove the pump,turn it on the side and using a motor or contact cleaner spray with a long thin tube, clean out the port and then add the proper oil.
You should have no issues with just a dab of oil.
Re-lubrication is required at the start of each heating season, or every three months for continuous service.
This unit needs to have the motor oiled every six months. It appears that the unit needs to be oiled.
The expansion tank pressure should be set to your system operation pressure.
No, this pump will work with existing standard flanges.
The only part you can remove without draining the system is the motor.
No, you can remove the motor and you will not loose any water with the impeller left in the housing.
Flow rate depends on head pressure, so GPM can't really be adjusted without the head pressure changing. You can see this on the chart on page 4 of this information guide ( http://www.bellgossett.com/literature/files/1.pdf ). There will be 0 GPM at 8 feet of head and 33 GPM at 0 feet of head.
We agree that you should replace the gasket. The part you need is P04080.
