Hello I just installed the double chain , and slp oil pump on my 1999 ls1 . And I can't get my timing cover to fit and seal properly . I grinded down the inside of the cover , and now have put a small pin hole in it .(aka it can't be grinde anymore) I read that you can take the spacers off of the pump . But idk how i feel about that . my pick up tube doesn't fit properly ether . Any and all help would be awesome !
Now that I think about and look at it . I don't think it would be a good idea to remove the spacers haha . And does a ls2 cover work better ? And yes I have searched this , just haven't found a clear answer ! Thanks

The whole point of running the SLP pump is so you don't have to clearance the cover or use pump spacers when installing a double roller timing chain.. Take the spacers off and you will have proper clearance everywhere.
Are you going to weld the pin hole or buy a new cover?

you need to grind the oil pump itself..i just put on a rollmaster double roller and had to grind the oil pump in a couple of places to get the cover to fit..just text me at 706 466 six227 and i will send you a few pics..........Bob
