[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 122609, member: 597"] In fact my machinist ordered that 1" reamer back when I did that job, since then I've used it many times. Best thing ever and makes changing an oil pump far less stressful........As one of the issues is aligning the sleeve with the peg hole as the sleeve gets close to fully home, you can quite easily rotate it to do so. One trap to be extra careful of is if the large inner timing side roller race is in place. I had one where the reamer clipped the edge of the hard race and lightly damaged some of the cutting edges of the reamer blades (flutes whatever you call them) so be careful of that one. I think changing an oil pump is probably one of the hardest and risky jobs to do on these engines, and careful preparation is an absolute must. I always start an engine assembly by installing the small timing side outer bearing ring first, then the pump sleeve, and then the remaining bearings and the spindles last. The wife doesn't even ask what all the noises coming from the kitchen are anymore....................... o_O .................;) [/QUOTE]
