~350hp + factory oil pump + underdrive pulley = .... (not 56k friendly)

It seemed not to have movement because of the silicone seal used during assembly. It acts like a glue. Remember, silicone is used all around the pump and up against the oil pan. So yes regardless, it would need to be pried off.
Remember it doesn't take visible movement of the pump at high rpms to cause issues.
My comment was during assembly to note the clamping force of that bolt when comparing the space between the pump housing and the block.

We now direct you to a post your should have read and would have absorbed if you didn't learn reading comprehension in the public school system https://www.miataturbo.net/forum/sho...8&postcount=32
Why should we have to follow links to different forums to understand your stupidity? I didn't need to read past the title of the thread to realize you fucked up with your parts combo.

I think tony's point is the potential flex on the internal pump surfaces because of the missing bolt. I see his point, and I know that bolt is missing on a lot miata race cars I've seen. That said, it probably doesn't make any difference at that low power.
I don't know that beating Paul up over his decision is gonna fix his motor. It's nice to learn from others' mistakes, but when you can't sometimes you learn from your own... by default.

I question your reading comprehension more than Pitlab77's. He's right. Welcome to "beaten to death UR pulley killing oil pump discussions" circa 1995.

People make all kinds of claims and distortions about all different kinds of products. I'm not saying they are all unwarranted. FM claims the motor will last 2000 miles if you boost with a underdrive pulley. Does that statement seem accurate to you? Well I've put 40k miles on with that pulley on a motor making ~355hp. How long has your 350hp stock motor lasted?
There are a bajillion threads on m.net and elsewhere about how fragile SSR Comps are and how they shouldn't be used on the street. Well I have yet to damage one and I drive 60k+ miles a year in my Miatas. IN JERSEY!

Hasn't he read all the warnings available virtually everywhere about gasoline being flammable and combustible? That would be assanine to force lots of it into a pressurized compartment with oxygen and some electricity.
It's getting a brand new oil pump with oem gears. going with the ATI pulley.
