Thanks for the replies. I will get to work on it.

I was wondering which ones have the o-ring also. And I figured the o-ringed ones didn't use the gasket but I have no idea if that is true.

I'm working on a 70 Road Runner that hasn't been driven in years and as you can imagine it is going to need some brake parts. The brake pedal won't move up or down, it has power disc front brakes. I don't know what all I will need. Who is best vendor to get parts from? Thanks for your help.

Lifter preload is automatic with stock rockers. Be sure when you take the lifters out that you store them in a manner so that they can be put back on the same cam lobe for the next time you use the cam. You really need a lifter box and mark which way is "front".

No matter what you buy it's going to need some work.

OK, I get it now, for some reason I thought he had a 572 now and was just wanting a new short block.

I want to build a wedge. I have a B and an RB block to start with. I'm not sure which one I want to build so I guess I'll just start trying to round up some parts and whichever one I find the parts for, I'll go with that one. I like the 337 intake for the 440 and I would like a 4500 M1 for a low...

Your pump is stock. You posted photos. It uses the thicker o-ring. It is not a Milodon that uses the skinny o-ring.

You already know the large one goes between the plates. The skinny one goes between the plates of a Milodon.

Solid rollers might be better but if you're happy with your hydraulic cam and roller lifters I don't see why you need to change. I guess I don't see how it's going to calm your cam down or give you more vacuum. I just like them. But I don't mind the Callies either. But I think I liked blocks...

I think they only look right one way. If you put the fat one on the shaft it probably won't go in the block. Put the skinny one on the shaft and then try to put the pump in the block. That will make it obvious to you.

They're what, $2,000 more than a Callies? Everything is so expensive now it doesn't seem so bad. At the NHRA race this weekend a bottle of water was $5.99.

You might have that piston in upside down. The cap would be very hard to get on if you get it backwards. I thought I got that spring tester in Michigan. But I really don't remember.

This video shows rebuilding an oil pump but unfortunately not the reassembly. Maybe I should do a video of reassembly.

Everything is going to be fine. Just stay calm and don't get in a hurry. This is just a learning process to go through. It won't be expensive nor complicated. All the problems you are having is from lack of knowledge. If you knew it all you can't believe how easy this really is. Just be glad you...

The Milodon oil pump has a larger rotor diameter. This leaves less room for a o-ring, so it uses a skinnier o-ring than a stock Melling pump.

Yes, but that kit should have 2 of the large diameter o-rings. The skinny one services a Milodon pump and the thicker one is for a stock pump. For a guy like me that runs Milodon pumps also this is a good part to have.

Yes, that is a good kit because it has o-rings for both Milodon and Melling.

Don't even think about doing that. If there is a problem it can be corrected properly and cheaply.

It's a shame it didn't come with that gasket but let's hope it doesn't leak. The little bolts that hold it together l like to tighten last just in case the top cover needs to move to line up with the bolt holes if you didn't line it up perfect. I don't recall a torque spec on those small bolts...
