This is the correct way to install a pump but the alignment has nothing to do with sumping.mlewis said:There’s a potential oil pump alignment issue that has been sited to cause excessive wet sumping (as you’ve described) and crankcase ventilation carry over. HD has been known to send bikes out the door with oil pump alignment issues and from what I’ve read, there are at least two procedures for oil pump alignment. One involves loosening the oil pump body enough to allow it to find its own center while rotating the crank and the preferred method requires the use of a pair of EVO guide pins in two of the oil pump mounting holes. I believe there is also an oil seal on the base of the oil pump that could cause these same issues as well.
