Thanks, Walt. Could you answer 4 questions (5 including this one)?
* How is the oil pump idler shaft held in the block?
* What determines the end play of the idler gear on the idler shaft.
* The idler gear cover is just a cover, isn't it (by this i mean the idler gear shaft doesn't touch it and is not held in by it?
* Is it necessary to replace the idler gear bushing or do they last forever?
Thanks, Jack Orchard
