Nick, I ordered a fist full of .03mm shims to try and make it happen. No sense is replacing a perfectly good pump. For the timing chain cover and other parts in the pic I used alimu-restore paint in attached pic. I'm told it will hold up to the heat. Love that you still have original oil canister. I tossed mine 20 years ago when I converted over. Hey what can I say, at the time I thought it was a stupid design. Wish I kept it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
