Hello all, first post here. I've been rebuilding a 1948 8n and the info I have
found on this site is priceless! This is my first 8n so I am learning a lot.
I have a question about which oil pump is better to rebuild. I have the 3/4
and 9/16 width pumps and the rebuild kits for both. Is there any advantage to
the wider gears or does it matter? The engine had the 9/16 width gear
originally. The sump on it was worn pretty deep on the machined surface side
so I picked up another from a friend and it was the 3/4 that was not wore at
all. Before I take it to machine shop to put bushing in was wondering which
housing I should have the new bushing put in. Any info would be appreciated!
Thanks
Bob
