I am confused about the backlash on the engine oil pump gear.
The manual says that if I remove the engine oil pump I can install it again with the old shims without trouble, If I do not renew any parts.
I put in some new main bearings, and I do not see that it can have any affect on the backlash.
But when I reinstalled the engine oil pump, I can turn the gear on the pump alittle, but not the idle gear.
I did not check if I could turn it before I removed it, so I do not know how this idle gear on the pump should act.
Should I have any reason to worry if I just replaced the main bearings?
(This is the late engine oil pump with two small gears.)
