does the distributor body require an o-ring at the cam tunnel?
[/ QUOTE ]
dont know..using a MSD distributor though..it comes with two O rings but states that they are for motors with a beveled dist mount..this on is machined at a 90 deg angle so I dont think it uses any..please tell me if I am wrong!!
Well, was at the machine shop till late..and verified in front of the machinist that there is only 28 psi cold..pulled the pump and tested it in a bucket of oil(from the motor) and it made almost 80 psi!..and nearly twisted the drill out of his hands..pump is a Melling HV unit...bearings look good nothing out of the ordinary for a motor with only an hour on it..has us both scratching our heads.he tearing the whole motor down later today or on Monday and we are researching the oilong system to see what we have missed..has to be something. Thanks for everyones help and patience
