[Spridgets] oil pump Q

[Andy Webster]

Holborn-Eaton were a factory pump. At least they are listed as one of the original pumps in my workshop manual.
   
  I recently chose not to replace my Holborn-Eaton oil pump. 
   
  I dismantled it, saw some light scoring on the lobes, but had a lobe/lobe clearance of about .002, and the book says <.006 is permissible. 
   
  That same day I read somebody's post about "you know you're a Mo$$ customer when...." and decided to stick with the original pump.
   
  My eaton pump has the philips head screws, and I wondered the same thing about a DPO.

  The pump has what looks like Hoboorn-Eaton printed on it and the hex screws
are at the "temporary" locations as shown in your pix (upper left and lower
right). I really don't want to have to tear apart the engine unless
absolutely required. If I have to go that far I'm just going to throw a 266
cam in it too. If I do that I may not get back together in time for the Sep
09 Brit Show. I'm not Frank!

You have a newer-incorrect replacement pump, Herb.

er, unless they are at 10:30, 2:30, 4:30, and 7:30.

See http://www.justbrits.com/1275/pump.html

Lemme know if you want correct one
