not wrong. vlad did they respond to an email? how much?

Doesn't have any. But that was the correct specific one without cam sensor hole. So I responded and asked if they had any castings at all from 1990 up.

The other places I email also said NLA.

How is it NLA when they made so many of those engines? I bet is because hardly anyone was buying them so remaining stock has been scrapped.

yep. probably all farking melted down. wonder who has the dies?

could you get a speedy sleeve for the outer ring and fly cut the housing?

yeah I already have been thinking about this. but rather a bronze sleeve.

Went to commwreck and they sold me the best cover they had. The correct one for my application.

Very happy with this one. its in excellent condition.

The pump gears are like brand new just about. Check the pump cover lol. No scratches!
All of the factory machine marks are still there. Only 2 darken spots but I can't feel any groves there so its really good. Better than my 100k VR one from what I recall.
Pump is great. The inside of the cover was silver so this engine must of had low ks and good services.

got the cover cleaned up and lots of measuring from the 2 nos pumps i have. found the best fitting one. also figured the outer rotors are punched as a forging slug and are slightly tapered thus have a better fit with the larger part facing up. The bottom of the housing has a groove machined in there so this is why the tolerance is smaller in one direction.

Everything measured very well. I did a test fit with the machined oil pump cover and glad I got it as there is only about 1mm of clearance from the chain. That is less than what the difference between the machined and stock cover is.

Also my fuel pulsators arrived today and I guessed the part correctly based on pictures alone as our NLA part number is non existent in the states.

Big different in fit! No more leaks now!

and now for the fun part. getting that in the tank vlad. tip. its all about the way you hold your tongue - i am certain of it

its easy, takes a whole 15 sec to put one in.

Probably a lot easier if the tank is out of the car too.
