Another gotcha is the orifice located at the base of the feed tube, A PO with a silicon addiction can send globs of goober into the oil system big enough to plug it.
yesIs this the inner drive pin? Thank you for the dimensions on that key!!
I'm headed to a great little hardware store we have in town. It's old school and has everything!
Including plenty of staff and every single one of them knows how to help! I seldom go to home depot even tho it's closer and cheaper
The drive pins are still available....Jim, have you measured and looked for a rotor key?
Jim for the win!Well, not to be a downer, but a forum member did just that a few yrs back. Don't remember who.
Fresh top end... new cam and rockers. He made one mistake... left the drive pin out of the oil pump inner gear. For about 200 miles he fought valve adjustment issues until he tore the motor back down. Cam and rockers were roached big time. It was @GLJ that pointed out to him the discoloration meant oil starvation. You remember who it was Greg?
Doh....No, I meant the charging rotor, the ones you rewind.
