Hi Jonathan, thank you for watching...If the wear is such that you can drag your fingernail over it without getting stuck and all of the clearance measurements are within the ranges specified in my video, 1000-1500 grit sand paper can be used to clean/tidy it up...This applies to both the pump cover and body. If there is any wear on the crescent, I'd start looking for a new pump body as that's more of a concern than very minor wear in the pocket or on the pump stator support working surface. Plus the stator support can easily be re-surfaced on a lathe for like $30-$40 bucks at any machine shop while the pump body, if it needs to be re-machined, must be done on a vertical mill which some shops won't have.
Thanks again for helping rebuild mine via your previous vids. Been many months ago and it's still rollin' in the old 73 F100. 👍💪
You're welcome, man...Glad to hear it has turned out well!
Thanks for your video I realized my pump bushing was installed backwards good thing I ordered two of them
Glad you caught it in time and had a spare...Thanks for watching, man!
Very useful video and well done...thanks.
Thanks, olddragracer! Appreciate it.
What can I do if I do have mild wear on the floor of the inner pump? Is 1000-1500 grit sand paper an option?
