Serp oil pump

[jojackson4]

Put the new pump in my spare front cover and the outside ring is a bit tight is this right?
It will turn but not freely

[Boosted LS1]

Does it turn smoothly and is it oiled at the moment?

[jojackson4]

I wouldn’t say smooth but will turn

[jojackson4]

Just got my old one out
The new pump doesn’t turn in my old cover but the old pump turns in my replacement cover FFS
Island 4x4 will be getting a call

Your old pump may be worn slightly.

[jojackson4]

True
But the new one doesn’t turn properly in 2 different covers

[Sardonicus]

Have you got the outer gear the right way round chamfer to front cover? rather than closing steel plate

[phazed]

I'm sure it should turn freely either way.

Return it and buy from a known source, i.e., Real Steel imo.

Yep checked and double checked

[Sardonicus]

If the beveled edge dont go face down into cover the outer gear cuts into the front cover corner shedding ali in the process probably caught by the filter just not something I would want floating round the oiling system, its just a suggestion for the cause of the binding different brands may not have this design and may be symmetrical either way

Yep get what your saying Simon
All looks good in both covers even the back plate isn’t too bad only very light marks
And yes it’s got the bevel on the outer gear it looks like it’s just too big

I read some while ago that there are a lot of iffy pattern parts around hence my suggestion of going to Real Steel.

That’s where the next one will be coming from

[jojackson4]

Any where else recommend?
