FYI on oil pump gasket for Big Blocks

[Johnfrmtx]

I noticed the gasket between the oil pump and block on my hemi had been "pushed out" and was leaking a drop or two, decided to replace it and found this gasket is not available as a seperate part from any of the normal sources. You have to buy a pump service kit or complete overhaul gasket kit. While working the PRI Show in Indy this year met a guy from Melling Performance and explained the problem to him, (they make one of the many service kits available) and now you can get a gasket and "O" ring kit from Melling, Thanks guys! a part number M-63016.

Some of these show just an O-ring, but I find Mancini to be the most correct kit.

somebody needs to bring back the side seals for the rear main seal cap.
