Hi all, Happy holidays!!

I received a new oil pump a while ago made by Autopump. After comparing 
it to my old pump I noticed that the oil intake ports in the housing are 
considerably smaller than the original. I can see where the machining 
has not removed as much material & I have started to open up the area. I 
don't mean casting material that needs to be cleaned but a smaller 
machined opening. I also noticed that the the drive gear does not 
completely fill the gear sleeve when in it's tightest position. This may 
have no effect on oil distribution but I would like the opinion of the 
more knowledgeable on this subject.
My original pump ( I think it's the original ) does not have the shaft 
pinned to the gear but the new one does. I would think that's a plus.
Thanks,
