Hello there cts1950...
let me run this by you an see what you think...
Do you think it matters which way the outer oil pump rotor gets installed...???
(this would be the thinner outer one that sit`s against the camplate)
I was thinkin about how the 2 rotors may need to be in the right timing of each other to pass oil thru them, from one to the other (???) because they dont look like they have the "FLATS" in the same position where they each are run by the crankshaft. If this is true, one would think ther is a timing issue to let the oil pass from one to the other this way. I really dont know if this is true or not, because i cant find any information anywhere about the timing of the oil pump rotor`s, or even if they need to be.
So what i`m saying is, i take the outer smaller rotor back out of the pump, and reinstall it back into the pump turned completely around (???) I`m out of idea`s, so i thought maybe i`d run it by you an get your thought on it.
Anyway, my own thoughts about it....
i`ve turned wrench`s for probably 40+ years, and i`ve never had to "Time" an oil pump in anything i`ve ever built in the past.... BUT, what the hell, ther could always be a first time though huhhh. I`ve got nothin to lose, and everything to gain, IF it works after i`m done.
