Default Is any one here running a mellings 10295 pump with a double roller timing chain?

I want to run the mellings 10295 oil pump. Its the high pressure pump. The 10296 is the high pressure and high volume pump. I am trying to find out if i can run any of the double roller timing chain sets with the 10295 pump with out clearance problems. I don't want to have to clearance the oil pump or the timing cover to install this stuff. I have already heard the rollmaster requires clearance with the 10296 pump but not sure with the 10295 pump. I have also heard other brands of double roller chains are better for clearance.

im not sure of what number melling pump i put in my car but i did have to clearance the back of the pump where it flares out for the pickup tube, what i did is i installed everything, set the clearance for the rotor, torqued the bolts than spun the engine, took it off saw where it hit ground it down a little and repeated until it didnt hit anymore.

Did the pump you have come with an extra spring? If so thats a 10296 and I think it is a little thicker than a 10295.
