Seems like that motor gives you nothing but problems. Time for a new one!

I don't think I still have it but I'll look. They're fat in the middle but the ends that go into the oil pump and distributor are small, that's what twisted/broke.

I'm gonna go arp is it worth it to get a high volume oil pump or should I just stick with a stock pump?
 
Posted by turbo50 (Member # 6700) on :
 
Nodular standard volume pump and arp shaft has supported many many many many 200-1200hp cars......
 
Posted by Greasy (Member # 5258) on :
 
Standard volume/standard pressure

CHECK UR PICK UP... make sure there isn't any holes in your screen. I had it happen to me about 3 times on my old motor. The screen had a pencil size hole in it and sucked up a tiny piece of rtv and froze the pump.

Damn really I'll make sure to check once I'm in there.
