Not a lot to do to get the car running for the spring, but, some.
I have been anxious about the oil pump since I freshened the engine - it got me to Wisconsin & back so I am sure it is fine but it drops pretty low at idel when warm. Besides I actually have a new pump (doh!)
A year or more ago we discussed 1500 oil pumps and one issue that came up was lapping the casting of the pump where the two halves come together - I did this with the old pump and it did help. I have done the same with the new pump but now I am wondering whether a bead of sealant between the two halves would be even better. any thoughts?
