I have about 6hrs into my Melling 296. If it wasn't hitting the front cover the chain was hitting on the tube inlet and casting #s on the back. I did a search but don't want to go down this road again!

THANKS!

I just installed a melling. I had to grind the front cover. I ground the back of the pump a little. My SLP pump was also rubbing the timming chain. I think that it is nuts that these pumps don't work with a double chain. I would only use a double roller chain. The single row chain seem to get loose. Good luck.

Thanks for the info guys. Basically gonna throw $140 away and go a different route. There is only so much metal I can take off the pump before I don't trust it anymore.

I think I remember seeing Chris from CCPerformance saying he sold a pre clearanced melling pump. Might try pming him about it.

I used a ported LS6 pump with a Rollmaster double and never had an issue.

hmmm usually with a double roller, you'll have to clearance the cover slightly for the oil pump. its really nbd

TSP ported pump with rollmaster double chain...no problems at all. it was tight between the pump and chain though

I thought SLP sold one that would clear. A ported LS6 IIRC but I can't swear to it....
