Another double roller ?
How much clearance do you guys have between the chain and the oil pump with the spacers? I don't know in thousandths, but I'd say I have about 3/32 or a hair less. Just wanted to make sure before I button her up.
Also, who has modified the oil pickup tube due to the spacers? I installed my new o-ring with lots of oil on it and inside the oil pump seat and didn't fully tighten the pickup tube bolt until the oil pump was torqued down. I did notice that it moved it out a bit, but it seemed to seat nicely. I guess we'll see!
Thanks

As far as the clearance goes, I'm pretty darn sure I got the crank gear seated all the way. It slid on all the way by hand... pretty tight though. Then I put the old one on anyway and gave it a tap or two very lightly. It was seated.

"Have you slotted the oil pick-up tube mount (in sump) to allow for the pump spacers moving pump out ? if not tube may not centre in pump correctly and can cause oil pressure problems at start up ."
Maybe he'll chime in?
First time I've heard of such a thing.
