55-56 oil pump
Posted by R H On 2014/3/23 22:10:12
Ok, this is my mod of oil pump, after looking at the other mods of oil pumps.
the two part shaft has not been looked at as far as i know, to me that is the upper pump problem, so i used a full lengh coupling goes all the way down ,and as far up as allowed by main bearing,
but, the upper shaft dia is smaller the lower shaft, so, about .007 shim stock will snug the upper shaft in coupling
the lower part of pump has the plate which shaft goes into it, that was already done..
when you join to pieces of anything together you need to overlap the joint by a certain,amount that joint to me starts the wobble, that wears out the shaft ,,pump body fit. and you start to make air...
well this is my take , now to get engine in and test, the alignment from dist. should be straight, so that shaft should not have to work like a u-joint......
