GB Billet Oilpump Gears

International mail gets held up in customs, especially if it's metal.
No worries yet, it can take several weeks.
As far as gears go, as I said before, everyone back off for a moment, there is nothing wrong with the gears unless you have a 01+ motor, and Travis is addressing the situation.
Just relax...

I guess if someone has one of those motors they could pull it off and check. Sometimes part numbers can be misleading though that would also be worth a looky-loo.
My pump should go out tomorrow. I'd suggest the VVT folks sit tight till he figures out what he's going to do - odds are once he decides to issue VVT gears, you'll have enough time to return your set before the VVT ones are even built.
And maybe this time we'll get bubble wrap. :-P

They probably wouldn't get mad if you stole 0.2% of their measurement equipment. Do so, give it to me, and I'll sell some of it on ebay. 0.2% of infinite is all the money I think I need. :-)
Hang onto it till the gears are done, don't want you to need another donor after the fact to test fit in. Feel free to accidentally resurface it. :-P

The link for the clearances are located here thanks to Abe: AbeFM : photos : Oil Pump Specs 2000- powered by SmugMug
This job is reasonably drop in, pull the oil pump cover, pull old gears out, put new gears in. Then check the clearances, and retighten cover and replace everything that you took off to get the oil pump out. The tough part is getting the oil pump housing out with the motor in the car. I'm going to be working on this once I get my new composite cam gears in, and I have a reason to go in there. I'm going to see if this is possible with the oil pan on. So sometime within the next few weeks I'll have a write up either way.
