Thanks Frank

We can start ordering parts for your build whenever you're ready btw

 

When I get my MS built for my supra, do I get a sticker if I pay you to tune it?

 

You can haz one either way bby

welp all of the valves/seats are purrrdy now.

going to polish them up with the fine paste today and then start figuring out clearances for the lash

 

 

 

You've really honed your skills in the way you've hot rodded your motor.

 

Inspecting the oil pump looks not bad, but I am a tiny bit concerned with a little wear on the housing, and a few tiny scuffs/scratches on the gears.

Not sure if that's totally fine or should replace. They're so minimal that even a fingernail won't catch on them, but I'm still concerned:




Thoughts?

 

Pretty rods... stock pistons?

How close were the rods out of the box in terms of weight/end balance?

No technical help with the pump, except that: "When in doubt, throw it out." If you are worried about it at all, replace it. Cheaper and easier to do it now than have a problem later.

 

I would replace the pumps, cheap insurance!

 

Check the relief valve spring length then I'd probably run it. Rule of thumb is that if you can't catch a nail on it, it shouldn't affect much. Unless you're a rubber seal. That's usually with something like an accidental scratch during assembly. Obviously something caused this scratch and there's always that chance that it'll only get worse. I've personally never seen those kinds of scratches on the 1.6 and two 1.8 pumps I've disassembled.
