Anybody know what the max gap is supposed to be on the oil pump lobes? TIS, as usual, AWOL on the subject.

Buy a new one, it's $40. Especially if the timing case is already off, which i'm guessing it already is since you're wanting to measure clearance. New bolts for the oil pump cover as well.

I'd rather pay $40 than $60+. What's your source?

I estimated, I paid like �37 over here in Germany. Figured maybe it was a bit cheaper. You'll pay more than $60 in gaskets/materials even if you catch the pump going bad quick enough. If not, it's gonna cost a whole lot more.

Buy the pump. Do you have M42 or M44??
