My thrust plate is leaky slightly. Does anyone know if I can use 2 oil pump gaskets to reseal this or do I have to try and find the original gasket that came with the thrust plate? any part numbers? I took it apart at one time and didn't put it back together with new gaskets. I believe thats why it is leaking.
You should be able to use regular oil pump gaskets to do this. If I was you, I would place a call to TA performance(1-480-922-6807) and ask them. They sell the thrust plate kit, and will probably tell you to use their oil pump gasket shim kit(TA 1704). That way you can really dial in your end clearance, and reseal it at the same time. You do know you must pack the pump with vaseline when you reassemble it . Otherwise the pump may not prime itself. BTW, post your name, It's nice to be on a first name basis on this BB.
