Anyone else using this oil pump on their Type IV engine and finding it leaks?
Having issues trying to get the cover plate to seal..... Cover plate was leak free prior to rebuild......mechanic cleaned up.....reused and installed with paper gasket and Permatex Aircraft grade sealant.....no leaks till I went to track and got black flagged.....excessive smoke from under car.......Took it a part.....resealed and still leaked in the shop Purchase new unit......sealed per instructions.....still leaks Called Melling Pump......they can't figure it out either but overnighting new gaskets of several styles.....Installed new gaskets per their directions....still leaks Going to Melling tomorrow as their manufacturing/RD is an hour away Besides Melling......what other High Volume pumps are available that are reliable Any use an O-ring to seal instead of a gasket |
