Hi guys,
Hoping for some advice;
Purchased the Achilles upgraded oil pump shaft,
- got the old rotor/gear pressed on to the new shaft (placement looks okay with a tape, but I'm sure the shop used calipers),
- placed the new shaft in the oil pump no dramas,
- shaft and rotor/gear spins freely,
But when I close up the cover the rotor is scoring on the back of the pump and is hard to spin, any ideas?
Am I missing anything?
Two directions I'm thinking are;
- housing may be too tight (can't get my torque wrench behind 2 of 4 bolts)?
- rotor/gear is pressed too far or not enough on the shaft?
- other?
(the photo with the inner gear not sitting flush with the outer gear is just to show the placement - the inner gear sits 'almost' flush when all the way in, maybe 1 or 2mm out)
Cheers,
