Well my oil pump is back from the States, yay!

So the internal workings of the pump have been coated to provide tighter tolerances and therefore more pressure. The stock pressure relief valve (built into the pump) has been removed and an external PRV will be installed along with the oil filter relocation kit already in the car.

Here is a piccie:

Now that the pump is back, I can move onto other things, such as:
- getting the crank machined
- putting baffles in the oil pan
- buying rebuild parts

One step closer

Stay tuned for another weekend update
