Re: oil pump locking camshaft

If you don't get a response from anyone here, I suggest you try https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/MG-MGB/info there are some knowledgeable members in that group. That of course doesn't mean that there aren't knowledgeable people on this forum!!

Re: oil pump locking camshaft

Hi Dafydd,

Not direct knowledge or experience of this problem but could you file the extra length off the new pump?

Cheers
Jeremy

Re: oil pump locking camshaft

hi and thanks for the input. it seems that this problem is not unheard of with some pumps that are made other than in the UK, especially for MG owners in the US. it seems to be the impeller shaft that is longer. If I could post pictures I'd be able to show you. Have ordered another more expensive pump. The 1st two, despite being from different retail outlets were from the same ssupllier as far as I can tell.
