    Working on the 231 v6 to put in my 3b. Put in the oil pump repair kit and the cover plate, now the gears wont turn. I checked clearance with a strait edge and gauge, and there is basically none. Who makes a thicker gasket for these? I gotta believe the gasket is the difference. The one that came with the kit is very thin.
    Thanks in advance

    Bowbender I'm workin' on it!

    Could you cut your own out of thicker material? I have several rolls of material, different thickness'. Made a number of my own because I didn't want to chase down a pre-cut piece.

    Should have been multiple gaskets in your kit to shim housing with.

    I thought so to. The only one with the kit was paper thin.
    I found rebuild kits on the TA site, but not a choice, or selection of gaskets. Might call, and get some help.

    There should have been at least 3 different thicknesses with the kit.
