Have had real trouble with my LC350 overheating as soon as full throttle is applied and have gone through every thing in the cooling system but only this weekend I think I have found the problem.
Somehow I have mixed up oil pump drives and have been running a 31k pump with a 250 oil pump drive. This would explain why the 250 I recently got rid of smoked so much despite adjustng the pump right down.
I have stripped the top end and have found some light blueing around the gudgeon pin and small end bearing but the bores seem to have escaped damage.
Anyone have a suitable pump drive and shim for sale? Or know where I can get one? Any help etc

must have mixed them up completely then. Obviously Special Vat does not help during rebuilds. I have a few 31k pumps but a rebuild sounds like a good idea if I can find a drive.

I have a 350 worm. You will need to use one of your spare 350 pumps as the gear in the other one will be all chewed up.

Speak to Arrow mate he is the residence pump geru and he will help you out. The way I look at it he will sort that out for you so you can concentrate on building everything else. For a nominal fee Arrow will in the long run save you a lot of money. The pump will be delivered like a new one and he can obviously help you with the gears.
