Head studs are for people that remove the head every week as the bolts don't stretch as much so they can be reused. Where you'll be bolting it on and leave it alone for a good long time...Quote:

ok done some more work on the engine today after work.
had to do some more modding to the valve tool as it was just to small still. so it will fit now.
and had a bit of time, so cleaned up the oil pump. and stripped it to check the tollerances. now im not sure what the gaps are meant to be, but i used a feeler guage and i could fit a 0.20 in these gaps

and there is some "worn" marks on the casing and the gears, will these be alright to reuse?
get a new one mate :thumb:
Better to replace it now than 100miles down the road
see i think we had this discussion earlier in the thread. and people say buy a new one, but not a aftermarket one as they are crap. GM ones are about 200 quid,Quote:

so im just checking mine, see what its like :)
must have missed that bit in here lol
Well it all looks ok in there give it a good clean out and chuck it back on then
Yes there will be wear marks in it. Did the engine have oil pressure in it before? If it did reuse it.
