Re: [Amc-list] Fightin' the Oil Pump

[Joe Fulton <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am using the same cam and lifters (appropriately placed) so I don't have to worry about cam break in.  I have liberally used Iskenderian cam lube throughout the motor as my assembly lube.  I think the problem is that pump is put together without the gasket between the base and top plate. That's where the leak is coming from.  I don't remember that gasket being in the rebuild gasket kit.  That's a one year application so it might not be there.  I just don't recall the details (how long was it apart?) etc., of how it went back together. 

I'll be out of town this week.  I'll deal with it next Saturday.
