I didn't prime the new pump and it is installed with oil pan buttoned up. It is an uprated pump by Steve Yott. D; /html/triumphs/2014-07/msg00047.html (8,754 bytes)

Kinda diddly process, since aligning the diet gear afterwards can be fiddly. I did a YouTube video years ago,; /html/triumphs/2014-07/msg00051.html (10,526 bytes)

Use a big one that matches the gear drive. Spin it up yo; /html/triumphs/2014-07/msg00053.html (11,220 bytes)

I even heard from Steve Yott himself who stated the pump is submerged in a TR4. Spin without the plugs until you get pressure and you are fine.

But isn't that the purpose of putting that viscous engine rebuild lube on moving parts during assembly? Terry Smith, '59 TR3A N; /html/triumphs/2014-07/msg00060.html (9,088 bytes)
