please advice from experts why this small hole on pump cover. it goes behind the seal i thought it was drain hole for the excess of o?l between the seal and the cover but it is impossible because the hole is on the side of pressure of the pump.and the hole is higher than the shaft. atthis time the pump put pressure on the seal at around 150 psi i got it wrong or what thanks Maurice

another problem i have o?l leak Under the pump for Windows so i removed it and see it is leaking from small hole Under the electric motor housing i took it apart and found the seal is leaking because the shaft is badly pitted where the seal is positionned. has somebody tried to put speedy sleeve on the shaft. what guys do you think about that thanks Maurice

thanks for the answer Joe have a nice day Maurice

good afternoon thanks JOE i have read your history on 356 rebuilt i think everything will be usefull for me. all my stuff is in machine shop waiting for valve guides and pistons pin bushings etc etc i,ve seen you put the engine back in frame with the head bolted on. from where did you lift it when i removed mine i used angled anchors on head studs i am curious what is the trick Maurice

thanks HH56 for info on the hesd machining i will go to minimum maybe .002-.003 and somebody told me that the marks on the back of rod bearings -002 with blue ink are for identify that the bearings are .002 oversize i don,t have the tickness measure of a std bearing for compare but i will measure it another way

here are some pics of engine
