Thick oil pump gasket, Pump doesn’t line up Options

[Chad911sc]

So my plan was to start assembling the 2056 today, but I found this when placing the oil pump into the case. I measured the gap needed to fill with a gasket, and it’s right at 3mm. Do they make a thick pump to case gasket that will fill this space, so that the rubber sealing ring will be in the case instead of hanging out the back of it??
The gaskets that came with the pump are way to thin to place the pump in the correct position.

Generally, modifying a type 1 oil pump (please note that there are many styles of type 1 oil pumps) for use in a type iv motor includes actions like:

Clearancing the back of the pump so the cam gear fasteners don't hit the pump. Another option to address just this issue is to use a cam gear from the type iv store that clearances the cam gear and using lower profile fasteners.

Clearancing one corner of the pump cover because it hits an engine case mounting boss.

Longer case studs.

Some add 1, 2, or even 3 o-rings to seal up the type one pump within the case. This of course means cutting grooves in the pump body for the o-rings.

Not 100% sure, but, sometimes the "nose of the pump" where the camshaft driven oil pump shaft resides might need some machining for certain type 1 oil pumps.

Note that there are different types of type 1 oil pumps, like: 6mm studs, 8mm studs, flat cam style, dished cam style, modified for full flow, etc. etc. Others might have additional things done to modify a type 1 oil pump for use in a type iv.

You might want to do some more research about the o-ringed type 1 oil pump you have already. This vendor/parts supplier uses a spacer with their modified type 1 pump for use in a type iv.
