[quote name='BDC' date='May 22 2005, 08:30 AM']Nice scratches. Is that Hylomar or is that just me? I wonder how well that works. In theory, you need nothing between the iron and the oil pump ...

Hey Seth,
I don't think it's necessary per se, but I think it's along the lines of benefitial and preferrential, just like our way of thinking behind porting the intake and exhaust ports to advance something better than stock. The exact same principles apply within the oil system here -> removal of pressure drop points to keep fluid velocity high.
That's the reasoning behind the (attempted) chamfering work done to the two cavities at the base of the oil pump land on the front iron housing.

What's the purpose of these two, and where do they connect?
