The new shaft looks great, what a relief. (pun intended)

The gear on the solid shaft is absolutely worn out.
I would also look at the bushings in the pump housing. May be its time for a new pump? My opinion, Chris W. |

New bushings, driven gear and relieved shaft should do wonders for this pump. Sad as it was before, it did still pump oil, just not as much as I would have liked. So, with these new parts, I should be even more happy!

Hi Marshall!
These slides are a bit late in posting, but I thought I would post for others to learn what you are going through. Also, I added a slide about the hole in the front wall of the valve chamber which could have been the cause of a low oil level in the valve chamber.

Theoretically that model B. oil pump shaft should be worth a slight horsepower increase in a model A. due to the less pumping restrictions!!!

I just got things back together today after being sick with a bad cold for the past week. I tested the reassembled pump with a drill to prime it and check the flow. It seems o.k. and stronger than before. I started the engine a little while ago and everything seems fine so far. No suspicious noise from lack of oil. There's a problem with mismatched manifolds that is causing an intake leak, so I can't be sure how complete my repair is. I blew out all the passageways in the valve chamber and they were clear. So, with a positive priming and flow, I'm relying upon the oil pump repair being successful. 'Gotta be better than it was before!
