[Healeys] Oil Pump Recommendation for BJ8

[David Porter]

New pump is always a good idea and dial back the ignition advance to factory
specs to save the next set of pistons..

Subject: [Healeys] Oil Pump Recommendation for BJ8

I'm rebuilding my engine and I need a recommendation for a New Oil Pump.
I
have two old pumps and the cylinder walls where the gears go are scored.
Pressure was good. About a third of the top of #6 piston disintegrated
causing
a loud clacking sound so I have to rebuild the engine. I had the gears of
one
pump CAD plated and baked to reduce the tolerances, but on the advice of a
couple of local club members it was suggested that "if it were my engine I
would get a new pump".
Thanks,
Patrick
