Well, I destroyed another one today! Though, I not destroying the Aux shaft that much, but I'm removing half the teeth on the distributor. I'm going to try to replace the oil pump, Aux, and distributor tomorrow or Monday.....
That really sucks! good luck on getting it back together.
what weight oil are you running.
10W 30 non synth....I'm going to check to oil pump this week in the bird to make sure that nothing is helping to seize it up.
