They do complete pump assemblies and can upgrade the originals. Edited 15/11/09 11:48 AM by RUS531 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember talking to Brad about te pumps failing after have billet gears fitted. The oil pressure can still get right up there and instead of the shock loading destroying the gears, the actual pressure inside the pump can crack the housing.

Well the motors been sent off on this morning's truck so I guess it should be there by Friday (I live in CQ). So it won't be long before I have an assessment on what needs to be done on the motor :locked: Edited 16/11/09 01:49 AM by RUS531 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
