Hi, I just got a nov.1930 dated engine that is partially disassembled an I am putting it back together. I have a question about the oil pump drive. Does the housing around the mesh filter have to be sealed with a gasket to the shaft or can it be loose? I ask because I'm not sure if it should have 2 bolts holding it into place, but this one has no bolts or holes for bolts and is flopping around on the shaft. I'd post a picture but this site won't let me recently, gives me error codes. Thanks!

Some of the sheet steel surrounds were soldered in place. They had no bolts or holes. On those with two bolts, I have not used a gasket and had no problems. I would suggest that yours be resoldered or the pump replaced. The loose surround will cause unwanted noise and may keep the screen from doing its job.
