Spacers for dual chain not enough to clear oil pump. What now? I installed my crane dual adjustable timing chain today. I go to put the new melling oil pump on and i used the two spacers that came with the timing set. Only problem is that the passenger side of the pump does not clear the timing chain still. Can i grind the pump down alittle to try and clear it.
Any other ideas?

You cant use the melling pump with a double roller chain. You have to either run a single chain and the melling pump, or a double chain and stock pump.

How far along the crank snout is your crank gear?
Mine looked like it was on there right but after I got to setting in the cam gear and the oil pump I realized I had to get it further along the crank.

i think melling has changed there casting a little, just clearance the pump enough to achieve good room for the chain and you should be good to go. i once had a machinist make me some thicker spacers one time. you can make it work though.

Use a marker to see were it rubs of.
