Home away from home	On my Hash pump: (body number 471083) Bore depth: 1.6287 Gear depth: 1.6255 So about 3 thou play. The cover plate is not perceptibly worn, either by depth mic or fingernail test. Attach file:   20240425_172737.jpg (3,072.90 KB) Posted on: 4/25 18:16

Home away from home	I mean that's an obvious symptom of a head gasket leak EXCEPT that you used a new head gasket, right? How much did the heads come untorqued in the meantime? I don't see how paint would stop a pressurized coolant system from leaking, so did you mean that in terms of aesthetic touch-up, or? Posted on: 4/25 14:27

Home away from home	Is it me or is the gasket area on that pan also warped from over-torquing? Looks like they supported it with a bottle jack...? Posted on: 4/23 20:36

Home away from home	Wasn't planning on it. Are they available NOS, or you found some supplier? I still need to inspect the oil pump I plan to use. Was going to today, but got tired 🥱 Posted on: 4/23 19:51

Home away from home	For grinding down the pump body, do you just jig them up on a Bridgeport? I assume about 2 thou impeller endplay is the goal? Posted on: 4/23 17:15

Home away from home	Thanks Jack but I'm not sure I'm following. Why wouldn't a shim with the same ID and OD of a gear, placed next to the gear, help reduce the pressure loss that would otherwise occur through that gap? Posted on: 4/23 12:38
