Clearancing for cloyes double roller + Melling HV pump (Pics inside) Just wanted to post up pics of my clearancing to the timing cover I did to get my Cloyes double roller hex-adjust chain and Melling high volume oil pump to fit right.
I searched and searched on here but couldn't find any pics that anyone had taken of the timing cover post-clearance. Also not included is some of the grinding I did to the pump itself on the back of the inlet tube (not too much, there is plenty of aluminum left) as well as I ground off the part number on the back of the pump on the drivers side and now I have plenty of room there.
I took the bolts that came with my timing chain for the spacers too and chucked them in the trash and replaced them with button top bolts to give me more room on the indents in the timing cover (bolts were hitting them the new ones do not).
Yes the pics are rather large but I wanted to try to get the depth of them as best I could. If you have questions post them up and I'll try to answer them.

I have the oil pump bolted up but the cover isn't going back on for a bit, what did you want more pics on, certain angles? I don't think I can get my phone close enough to get the pump grind points but I have the cover in front of me now.

I was interested on the pump and pick-up tube, no biggie though. The pics you posted should give me enough info for getting started with the cover. Thanks!
JPH - which timing cover? 2-piece?

I searched and searched but couldn't find a cover that would clear a double. Can you post a link to it? The only thing I found is Hamburger's is coming out with a 2 piece cover that should clear but it isn't for sale yet, could only find a video on youtube of it at the SEMA 11 show. Also if it's like the other covers that are 2 piece it's alot of $$'s to chuck at a timing cover IMO.

So I circled the spots on the pump I took down a little bit on the pick up tube part there is an indent that it hit close to. In the pick it would be just above aprox where I circled it, and the part number I just took down to flush with the rest of the casting. I used a dremel and sanding wheels. Really didn't take a whole lot out off of the pump pickup tube, make sure you get the lower sprocket pressed on there really good, I probably took more out then I needed until I gave it a good smack again with the hammer and now I have a comfortable amount of room.

That one? Looks like there is no price on it so it may just be pre-orders right now, just showed up at SEMA 11 too with the Hamburger's one.
