Rob--Pictures are just great. Lots of folks will be comparing your pics to what they have. When you started, you probably wondered if this was worth the time/money. Now that you got into it and found a few surprises I'll bet you're glad you did it. When you're done, it'll be RIGHT and FASTER! Lou

I am really enjoying this photo session; not as much as your usual offerings but still good! Reminds me that paint and polish is only skin deep. Hey, that's kind of the same with women... :P

As for the hatch bolts, I remember the previous owner of my Slingshot complaining that they always loosened up. I thought he said he changed them to Stainless which may keep them from galling. Keep the pictures coming-great stuff! Lou
now if there was a good way the do the oil filter mess with it up side down

Rob--Thanks for the pics of your oil change setup, it definitely is something to think about. I change engine oil every 10-12 hours or if I smell gas on the dipstick after a lot of idling. As for your oil pumps, the groove on the inside of the housing looks like a defect. The wear pattern half way down the main gear is something I've seen before. I don't recall seeing that chattering pattern on any of the BBC pumps I've had apart. As for blueprinting the pump, I've never seen much opportunity there. Maybe a little deburring. Never saw the need to deal with any spacing issues between the end of the gears and the housing surface the end cap bolts to. What I and others on this site are sensitive to is that if you weld the pickup on, you've got to TIG weld just a tack or two. Any significant heat will cause the gears to bind in the pump housing. It's a little before your time, but folks use to 'balance' the hydraulic loads in the pump by milling grooves in the housing/cap. As I said, Other than carefully tack welding the pickup on, not much opportunity with the oil pumps. Just my opinion. Lou

Rob thanks for all the pictures and posting your project for all to see. I also have the KE oil pan and pickup that you showed and have been down this road before. The Moroso pump that you are talking about ordering will not work with the KE pickup, because the plate on the bottom of the Moroso pump is too thick. We had 2 motors going together at the same time and both with that pan and had to send pictures to Kepp to prove what was going on. We ended up buying the pump that Keith Eickart uses which was a Melling. I can post the pictures tomorrow that shows what I am talking about.
