FM14 is IN! First Startup Video!
That's how you're supposed to do it. Put it on the tube, then put the tube into the pump. It might have been a little off center when you tightened it up and the oring got nicked.
I'll try to get pictures of it. I guess that's what I get for trying to save money and only spending $80 on a used oil pump. Just ordered a ported pump from thunder racing, next day air shipping, so hopefully car will be up and running by saturday.
Whenever you replace the o-ring, spread a little grease around it before you put the tube back in the pump, and pay close attention to how the ring is going into the pump. These o-rings can be a **** @ times, the difference between oil pressure and 0. Good luck.
I never heard about this but couldnt you also put some gasket sealer around the pickup tube and around the o ring area, and even if the ring gets a little crimped the sealant would hold the oil pressure as a backup?
