I Pushed on the arm when I was first installing the pumps and both pumps seemed like a reasonable tension. Thanks
The pump is a stock fuel pump for the 225 with no tension adjustment that I'm aware of. Thanks
Pretty sad. Is that an original part? That looks like my original eccentric. With all of the stories of worn eccentrics, and timing chain wear...
Thanks for your thoughts, I have used 2 fuel pumps on the problem so far. I've been chasing a disturbing noise in the engine camshaft area for...
Thanks for the picture, mine looks pretty sad. TA performance is the only after market provider that I have been able to find and I don't think...
Thanks, This sounds like my problem, the after market eccentric looks like it's cast pot metal cast and it has a well established groove with only...
My, 2000 mile since rebuilt, Dauntless fuel pump eccentric has a wear groove in it and the timing chain is showing evidence of poor oiling. The...
Hi, Just the oil pump cover (the part where the oil filter screws on), not the timing chain cover. Hi thanks for your Blueprint post. I have...

The cam is a pretty straight forward mild grind and no advance. You mentioned that there might be some other mods for the new oiling path. Do you...
Well... I relied on my pro engine builder to apply his expertise. He calculated; Sweep 622.06 head 41.0 piston 16.0 deck 6.2 gasket 8.2 =...
Thanks, I only have the KB No.1 manifold installed. The heads are from the 231. I have been driving the engine, but I have a funny (disturbing)...

I agree with all of your logic, and your economics and ecological concerns are commendable. However, being of the mindset that more is better, I...
So far, the oiling nor the water jacket has not been a problem. The Kenne Bell manifold has bolted right on without any obvious water jacket...
