thanks for the info. I won't have time to work on it for a couple weeks. But I'm gonna give another look at it as soon as I can. I have a buddy who thinks I might have installed the pump wrong.[/QUOTE
Yes, make sure the pump fits into the main cap properly.
Many gasket kits come with an oil pump gasket, don't use it!
Also, how tight is the tube threaded into the pump? another turn might make a difference.
And i'm assuming you're checking this WITH the gaskets on the block?
