Default SLP oil pump
Are the spacers that come with the SLP oil pump necessary because I can't get my front cover on, any help would be appreciate.

If you as running a dbl timing set, yes. The back of the pump will make contact with the chain without the spacers.

No they are not necessary and should not be used, the SLP pump has built in spacers in the casting. No need to use them. Without the spacers it will clear the chain and the front cover. They are in the double row timing chain kit, that is why you have them but do not use them when you purchase the SLP pump.

Thanks
Hank

I will make sure the instructions get corrected first thing tomorrow AM. I apologize that they are not up to date. I know this does not help you now. They should have been up to date and that is our mistake. It would have saved you much time and heartache if they were.

Thanks
Hank

It's no big deal man, I was just surprized that I got the oil pump pickup tube bolt in after finding out that I didn't need the shims. Well I got everything together and turned over the motor a couple of times and heard no werd noices so after I eat I will go out and try to fire her up. Thanks again for the help. I hope all goes well...
