High Volume Oil Pump

I'm betting the oil pump manufacturer knows more. What I've used in an application like this was a solid drive shaft and sleeve from Moroso.

Steel all the way..... this should not even be a question. If you have the manufacturer saying that you will void the warranty if you do not use it then this is a no brainer.

MOST parts counter people are either failed mechanics, or just book smart enough to cross numbers out of a catalog. Hell three of the parts people at my local auto parts store are fresh out of high school, or still in high school. If you don't believe me as a few of them the same question and see what kind of answers you would get. I have got to the point that I will go on line, look up a part number myself, and just go up to the counter and give the person that little slip of paper with the number on it. If it is wrong, then either the wrong part is in the box, or I straight F***ed up. Then 90% of the time will follow manufacturers instructions, unless I know there is a better upgrade (alternative)

If you find a parts person that knows what the hell is going on, stay with him/her

Problem is this is the person all the mechanics call in for so they are always extremely busy. I know what you?re saying though.

How true that is...

I had one crack once before I put the pump in...I went with the steel ones from then on... No question then.
