<DIV>OK, attached is a picture of the components as they were installed in my
oil pump. I have removed it, and after carefully examining the assembly,
I think I can see why it is not working. I had the plunger (the item in
the middle in the attached picture) installed backwards. I had the long
end of the plunger going down into the pump body, so of course, the plunger
riding on the cam would not even contact the plunger going into the
body. When I turned the plunger around, the 2 plungers now come into
contact with each other, thus allowing the pump to work.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I'd still be interested in any comments you have (other than "what a
s***head"). Also, I'd like to get an exploded diagram of the unit in my
car. Thanks for any help you can give me.</DIV>
