Car Project Update
Aside from the aforementioned hub project, I recently replaced the oil pump and also installed an aluminum sump. Both purchased from AH Spares. I tried to get the pump in the US, but the usual suspects were totally out of stock, so ordered across the pond. Turned out I saved a bundle, too, even after shipping etc.
Oil pressure is now at spec both hot and cold. I'm real happy about that. With the sump off, I inspected the inside of the engine and found everything to be real nice. Pulled a bearing cap and the shells look new.
Still shaking the car down before getting out of town too much.
