It has 2 o rings. But if you split the pump like I have the job requires 2. The inner one and the shaft.Yes, that is a good kit because it has o-rings for both Milodon and Melling.

I’m going to post photos of the pump in a couple hours. Glad to have you guys here. All I wanted to do was fix a leak not get a migraine!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.
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 have the internet. Nothing is as hard as it used to be.I’m going to post photos of the pump in a couple hours. Glad to have you guys here. All I wanted to do was fix a leak not get a migraine!
I get it. I just want to be turning a wrench right now not running down numbers on the internet and spending 2x what I have to on gasket kits and assorted junk. I just discovered one of the levers/arms to the trans is loose from a cotter pin falling out!Everything is going to be fine. Just stay calm and don't get in a hurry.

I think this is correct. The spring drops into the piston, and then plug screws in to seal it. The other end of the plug seals off a pump orifice until oil pressure overcomes spring pressure.Is that a Larson Systems spring tester? I had a hand in getting you that machine.

Not on the shaft, the larger diameter o ring in between the two plates. In fact there are two inner O rings, a small and a large diameter. My thinking here is it doesn't matter. It's getting smashed anyway so go with the thicker one. The one on the shaft does matter. And I'm pretty certain it's the thinner option because like you said it looks right.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.
Right. The Seal Rings are the issue. It came with two of the large diameter ones. A thick and a thin.
You already know the large one goes between the plates. The skinny one goes between the plates of a Milodon.Not on the shaft, the larger diameter o ring in between the two plates.

Let me try this again.You already know the large one goes between the plates. The skinny one goes between the plates of a Milodon.
