HELP!!!Double Roller Clearance Issues!!!
I am at the moment installing my Rollmaster Double roller (10:00 Wed night). I have the shims in place for the oil pump and it clears the chain fine. I went to put on the cover and the oil pump hits inside of the front cover! Anyone else with this problem?How did you go about fixing it?

You do NOT have to machine the inside of the front cover. The cover is paper thin and couldn't handle being machined anyway. You need to check your work. Of course you didn't leave the cover gasket off because you bought a new one when you got your cam and installed the new gasket along with a new " O " ring, right? Did you install the shims properly? The one that goes on the output side of the pump MUST be oriented correctly. What about the pickup tube going into the pump with its' "O" ring. Did you get that one properly? Did you torque all the bolts down evenly? Did you check that the pump is square and flush against the block. Last but not least are you SURE the cam chain/ Oil pump drive sprocket is FLUSH against the BOSS on the crankshaft?

I have a feeling others have had this problem but never noticed it. It is hardly noticeable, but I wanna get it right. I have a feeling that many people when installing inside their engine bay did not recongize the problem and torqued it down. One thing I find interesting is the depth of the threads to the bolts, seems like the bolts bottem out really early when nothing is under it, just a interesting note.
