Pictures of some lobes and the fuel pump lobe. Maybe this is beyond regrind?

What to use for a oil pump gasket? I'm searching and the only thing I can find is the older 6 bolt gasket. Seems like there was talk here about a newer gasket that needed modified but I'm not finding it now. |

Badvert65 on here makes a new gasket that does not need to be modified. They are really nice. Just drop him a PM or they may be on Ebay right now? |

I got lucky and found a 6 bolt pump, have never used a 5 bolt version. But as I remember it doesn't hurt anything to use a 6 bolt gasket for a 5 bolt pump "but I wouldn't go the other way" on this I bought a 10 pack of old stock fel pro gaskets a couple of years ago. I've gotten 6 bolt pumps on eBay. But for the future I think I will be rebuilding/reusing original pumps ... Look at old posts here, at one time there was a decent amount of talk about that subject.... |

Questions on reusing the cam. My brother mentioned mic ing the cam lobes and comparing them to each other. What other things to check? Do I polish up the lobes a little? Just get a regrind from Oregon Cams? Really interested in longevity and fuel mileage as much as power. Thanks. |

Send yours into Oregon cams and let them regrind that one. |

Oregon can also re cut your lifters so you can re use them. |

The fuel pump didn't put out much. I now know why. |

Talk with Ken at Oregon Cams, they can weld up worn fuel pump lobes. Don’t know if yours is repairable, Ken would know. |

Timing chain replacement ideas? I've searched here a bit. Not sure I need a double roller set for a daily driver pickup. Do the cheap ones fail? https://www.ebay.com/itm/174097276518?m ... media=COPY Or a roller. https://www.ebay.com/itm/263577823687?m ... media=COPY |

For your street engine the standard one is fine. |

Going with Oregon Cams. Welding up the fuel pump lobe. What grind for a broad powerband? Thinking I'll stay with the single barrel 1945. How much does a 2 barrel hurt gas mileage? |
