SLP Pump + Rollmaster = No fit
Im trying to install the front cover on my 5.3L and it wont fit over the pump. Im using an SLP pump and Rollmaster double timing chain. With the spacers in, the cover wont go on, but with the spacers out, the pump will bolt on, but it is way to close to the chain for comfort.. Anyone run into this problem?

I used the Rollmaster with the Katech pump and had the same problem with the spacers installed. The cover was hitting the pump were the oil pickup tube bolts to the pump and on the other side, where the Allen head screw threads into the pump. I ground some material off the front of the pump in those two locations at about a 45* angle. I had the tube installed when I did this so I wouldn't grind too much off. The is plenty of material in both of those locations so it's not a problem. Loosely bolt the cover on then rock it back and forth. Remove the cover and look for the shiney spots. (A magic marker will help in this process). Grind the corresponding location on the pump. I wouldn't grind the cover. It's thin.
