[Healeys] Oil pump

[simon.lachlan at alexarevel.plus.com]

I have extracted the "Gear type" oil pump from my car. This is apparently
the latter of the 2 types fitted to 3000s. It "looks" OK to me, but how can
I tell if it's actually worn?

There is a (very) little scoring, but I reckon one might anticipate that.
The clearances between the teeth seems good as does the clearance between
the teeth and the body. The shafts are OK and everything sits solid. But
what do I know of these things?

Any ideas, any clearance figures would be appreciated. Thanks.

(I bought a new Denis Welch High Capacity pump on eBay and will be fitting
that. It's a "rotor".)
