Any tricks or tweaks to getting clearance around double chain sprocket when installing a stage 1 fuel pump in 455? I've got a new TA pump, timing cover,dual sprocket and chain...
The TA timing cover relocates the fuel pump slightly to clear double roller chains. On the stock cover the fuel pump mounting holes can be slotted to move it slightly forward.
What you do is use a rat tail file to elongate the FUEL PUMP mounting holes so you can move the pump FORWARD. Doesn't take much, just a 1/16". But yes, the TA cover does this by relocating the pump mounting of the cover.
Thanks guys, I've got the TA pump and TA cover but saw it would just barely wipe paint off the arm when i put it together on a stand, I slightly notched the arm where it was touching but think the noise im hearing is it touching .... ill slot the holes a touch, thanx
