I ordered a couple of thin oil pump gaskets from TA. .006" & .008"

They arrived quickly.

I used the .006" gasket for a .0015"-.002" gear end clearance.

I'm not sure if I asked, but should I get the high volume one? Or the regular front cover?

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

What happened to the original front cover?

Nothing happened with it. I just wanted the motor assembled as much as possible before pulling the one out of my car. I still can drive my car right now. At this rate though, I may have to use my old one. I just wanted a new one since it would've had new oil pump n stuff.

TA couldn't give me an ETA and Fullthrottle flat out lied. I'll call again today though because I'm growing impatient

I see. Good plan. Might try locating an old OEM take off & use that one for a rebuild.

I ordered a few items from TA & they arrived quickly. They aren't very far away from me.

I ordered a few items from Full Throttle also. Took a LONG time before they arrived.

I can at least say that I appreciate TA being honest with me.

Phil, have you tried someone like Weber racing to see if they have one on the shelf?
