From tjprell at gmail.com Tue Jul 4 10:13:55 2023 From: tjprell at gmail.com (Tim Prell) Date: Tue, 4 Jul 2023 12:13:55 -0400 Subject: [WPTA] 1500 Spitfire oil pump install Message-ID: I started the process of replacing thrust washers in my 77 Spitfire this spring and after encouragement from a Triumph Spitfire restoration and support forum, also tried replacing main bearings and rod bearings in place.(for better or worse). In order to access the mid-crank rod bearing bolts, I removed the oil pump (cover plate, inner rotor, outer rotor shaft assembly). Now that all the work is complete and the engine spins as expected, the oil pump inner rotor and shaft will not slide fully back into place - it fits into its slot but stops at ~ 1 - 1.5" from fully inserted. I can see the slot at the end of the distributor assembly and a second opening in a plate for the inner rotor and shaft to slip through which must be blocking the shaft. The inner rotor shaft assembly spins easily. Any ideas on what can be displaced that won't allow the shaft to completely slide into place would be helpful. Nothing was moved or loosened at the distributor - I only worked on the lower end to replace thrust washers and main plus rod bearings. Some pics attached. thanks for feedback (at least serious feedback :-). Tim -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This should be the first page in the Engine section.? Look at the picture in the lower right corner of page 12-1.? That picture shows three parts.? 1. the top is the gear and slot that the distributer fits into.? This is one part.? The gear is turned by a gear on the camshaft.? 2. The lower shaft fits into the oil pump.? This is the oil pump drive and it is connected to the top part with a pin through the upper area of the shaft.? The little circle on the left side of the shaft just above the gear in the photo represents the pin that holds the two parts together.? 3.? There is a washer below gear. Don't remove the part (2 pieces as described above) with the gear as it needs to be put back in the exact position that it was removed.? The procedure is explained on page 12-2 starting with step #11.? So looking back at the photo on page 12-1, you can see where we are confused.? The only fixed collar that I can see would be the washer.? But if the lower shaft (#2 above) is in place then there is no way that could move out of place.? Likewise I don't think the oil pump shaft would even reach that washer ever if the lower shaft (#2 above) was in place.. Is the lower shaft (#2 above) still in place or did it come out when you removed the oil pump? Also email me any pictures that you have as my flip phone doesn't do a very good job of showing pictures. Hope that helps.

Unfortunately, I heard from his wife early this week that Kevin has been going thru treatment for Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and will not be able to attend the car show on Saturday. I have been in touch with his wife Susan, and since they can not make it to the PVGP on Saturday, I have decided to take some cars to him on Thursday night!! If anyone is around Washington, and has a few hours on Thursday night to join me - we are going to meet at my house around 6:45 - 7:00pm, and then leave here and drive down the street to the cul de sac. Any / all cars are welcome to join us!! Also - if anyone has an extra program from the car show on Tuesday that we could leave with him - please bring it along. My location is 567 Warrick Drive Washington PA. - we can stage on the street and go from there. Thanks in advance if you are able to attend, and if not - please send prayers and good vibes to Kevin and Susan!! Shoot me a message if you think you are able to attend - so I have an idea of who/what to expect!! Thanks Joe 724-678-8074 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I don't know who suggested this run, but about 9 miles north of the ferry on rte. 7 in Hannibal Ohio, up rte 536, is a small overlook named Kiedaisch Point Park.? The view both up and down the Ohio river is beautiful from this high vantage point. The parking lot is at the end of a narrow bumpy dead end road. Other than a couple of benches and a picinic table, the view is all you get. Still if you like seldom seen places, this qualifies.? Worth the drive.
