I've been stuck on the progress of my engine because I've been goofing around with some other minor projects for the car. A few weeks ago I decided to start putting one foot in front of the other for this journey.
I packed up my oil pump and shipped it out to
Glenn Yee Motorsports I gave him a quick call to let him know it was arriving and Glenn was responsive and happy to answer my questions a second time.
The turn around was just a few days and I received the pump bubble wrapped and in a nice sealed baggie. Sadly, it's hard to see the nice details of the rebuild through the plastic but the pump looks great and turns very smoothly. I'm not taking it out until I'm ready to pop it in the case.
The oil coating is a protective coating that he applies. It comes with a straight forward instruction sheet as well.
Part of the service is to port the oil openings as well as polish the internal bores. I might be mis-wording that but I wanted the heart of the oil blood line to be working in tip top order.
This led me to re-inspecting my IMS gear. The damage to the gear is really minor looking -it's a few tiny edges are chipped off, so I'm debating replacing it. The gear is $250 so you can see my hesitation. I will be replacing the chain gears however. I'm looking at the Sebro brand. I'm also looking at the IWIS non masterlink chains. Looks like they have a 'racing' chain for a few dollars more.
Long shot but anyone have a Las Vegas based machine shop they recommend for crank polish, magnaflux?
