OIL PUMPS GALORE!!! Machining

As in all CNC operations if we ran a test one first he qouted a prototype of 300 for ONE part. I'm already making nothing on the deal so I don't have enough built in. I already have the spec worked to where all tolerences are well within stock service limits. If something fails to meet specification it can be easily reworked, and they will be checking the parts in an optical comparitor for my specifications.
I'd be willing to pay more than $149 for a set of gears if we could go through the extra step of checking clearances of a few new & used pumps and then paying the $300 fee to make a single prototype to the target spec which could be "proofed" by assembly in both a new & used pump body.

they should run a first article as a matter of course. sn95, you can go buy a new pump or just "borrow it" at the counter and measure it there maybe. also, the drawings are posted a few pages up if you want to check them.

WoW, getting stuff fabricated is easy it seems. I just took a scan of my **** and mailed the dimensions to a "rubber" guy I know. He said it'd be two months cause he's gonna have to buy a bigger machine to make them.
Ahem... sorry I'm late to this party. I have one question I haven't been able to get a straight answer too... and yes, I've searched. I know gear failure is due to crank flex somehow. I haven't been able to find the actual mechanism that specifically causes the gears to wear prematurely. I also haven't found how billet gears is gonna solve whyever they break.... so I have 2 questions.
Why specifically are the gears we're talking about here not going to fail?
Who needs these gears?
$150 is nothing in the long-term, but in the short term, it's half a set of tires.

Sam, they don't wear prematurely, they break into large pieces.
bang, boom, bam, dead!
The stock oil pump gears are are sintered steel, (Powered steel that is pressed and heated in a form *without melting*) This results in a weak/brittle internal structure. Starting at or near 300 RWHP, excessive crank flex and undamped harmonics destroy the oil pump gears.
Billet steel, on the other hand, will stand up to much more abuse. High RPMs contribute to crank flex and harmonics as well. Billet oil pump gears are commonly prescribed for high RPM applications in other engines.
That being said, you should look into having those rubber ***** of yours CNC from solid billets of viton. Its the only way to be sure they can stand up to Hustler's abuse. Crank flex in the bedroom is a bitch!

What's the reputation of elastic or fluid filled dampers from folks like C.A.T.? Maybe we can approach someone like them to produce an inexpensive damper?

Get the entire rotating assembly (first bottom end, then bottom end with pre-balanced flywheel and clutch) balanced at a speed over target max RPM. Add MBSP. Finally add ATI Damper.

there's no way to eliminate crank flex in a piston engine. you can only reduce it. the bottom line is that two pistons are moving up in the middle of the motor while two are moving down at the ends. even when balanced, it's only going to be perfectly opposing forces vertically since the weight of the pistons is not transferred sideways but the counterweights are.
but with more durable gears, it should be less of a problem.

can I just rip the oil pan off, or do I have to pull the crank to install this ****?
I'm so epically pissed off at myself for building that motor without these that I'm about to start throwing ****. Badass motor with ------ oil pump gears = gaysex.

Well, it's going to involve getting the oil pump off (because the gears come out from the inside of the pump housing), so off comes the timing belt, and hopefully you know what that involves. Possibility of doing it with the engine in should be possible, but you'd want to take the front sway bar and probably the radiator out. A lift would be good to get to it from the underside, but you should be able to get to it from the top too.
yeah, but you have to drop the pan and that's not going to happen with the motor in the car.
