Subject:      oil pump sealants?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

What is the proper way to seal up the oil pump upon
installation? Both cover to pump, and (more
enigmatically to me) pump to case.  The archives had
little to say on this subject.


On a related note, i have two oil pumps:
a used german oil pump that seems to be in excellent
shape (only light swirl patterns on the pump and
cover), and...
a new high-flow brazilian "Schadek" 30mm pump


My concern is that the 30mm pump fits much more
loosely in the case than the used one that came out of
the (new to me) engine.  The casting seems a bit more
rough on the brazilian pump, too, but i might be
trying to come up with excuses...  I'm thinking i'm
going to stick with the original one, keeping the new
one as a backup, but wondered if the list had any
opinions on this.


Thanks much, oh list gods,
-damon
