Re: Oil pump woes, questions

It should turn easily, I'd at a very minimum put a brand new front cover and oil pump on it. I won't ever mess with new gears and a used front cover ever again. I also just installed a turned down balance shaft that I got from John just for extra insurance against seizing oil pumps. It's happened to me and almost everybody I know at some point.
