Call the folks at Max. I purchased a couple of plugs from them a while back. Not all of their parts are listed on their website.

Thanks guys. Appreciate the tips.
Should I drain the oil before I remove/install?

Priming an oil pump

I'm installing a rebuilt 0il pump on my 356. I've removed the cover to check the gasket thickness and I am wondering:

Should I prime the pump before I install it? Some tips on how to do that and with what?

thanks

Are you running bias ply tires? The roads here are frequently rutted. I installed radials and experienced a huge improvement in handling, especially at speed.
Best of luck....

Re: Brake lathe question

Many thanks for the info. I have sent two different sets of front drums to two different local shops to cut. One pair has a soft pulse, and the other a rather violent machine gun like shudder. When adjusting the shoes I cannot get a nice swish, but rather a grab and release, as I would expect with an out of round drum.
In both sets I left the bearing races in the drums as you guys indicate. Just searching for reasons why I can't seem to get at least one set round.
Neither set has been cut beyond spec. So, I am just searching for an answer. Thanks again, you guys are great.

When mounting a drum on a brake lathe, should the wheel bearings be removed?

Thanks for the ideas gents. I did an acid flush and have also tried thermocure a year ago or so. I have the radiator out for a recore and thought I should go all the way with a tube removal and some wire brushing. I can insert a small rod all the way to the back of the block so I think the tube itself is not clogged up, just cemented to the block. I think I will go gentle a while longer and maybe just leave it as is. Thanks guys.
