mine has been leaking since i got the car and now that my clutch is going wacky, i am going to fix everything starting at the front.
so..... i need a new oil pump. i have searched the threads and there seem to be 3 types - iron one that leaks (not going there) - aluminum one that doesn't leak (but need to machine the shaft IIRC) - type 1 conversion (still with shaft machining?) anyone who has this lately speak up as i am looking for input and assistance. after the oil pump, comes the valve adjustment then the clutch. thanks in advance (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) |

The TI is NOT a wise choice if your engine is assembled- The correct retrofit of the TI pump requires a modified cam gear and oil pump body to work- not just a modified cover..
The Melling would be your best choice for that scenario (damn I hate to recommend a Melling for any reason) I don't sell the Melling pump. |
