[TR] oil pump/oil pressure assumptions/guesses

[DLylis at aol.com]

Gary, I have posted this information before, and if it was to you, I  am 
sorry.  I helped a friend rebuild his newly rebuilt TR motor.  No  Oil Pressure.  
He was puzzled because the new drive gear and shaft assembly was slightly  
longer that the old.  After careful study I found that the pin though the  gear 
assembly securing it to the shaft had sheared and allowed the shaft to move  
up in the gear assembly making the whole assembly shorter and not able to reach 
 the oil pump shaft.  
My only conclusion is that when the dizzy was installed the tine did not  
line up in the slot so brute force was applied.
