Mick's after an oil pump if anyone can help. Have you not got one fitted or is it faulty?

Thanks for the welcome. I have oil pump fitted but threads have stripped. Went for brown colour as hopefully not as common as the blue, also I like it.

M6 get a kit off eBay about a tenner make sure you drill it straight pillar drill is your best bet put some grease on drill bit to catch dwarf then turn upside down and flush with wd40 and you should get away with not stripping the pump

Grease to catch a dwarf :shock:
They're slippery enough, without using grease Chris :mrgreen:

A 500 will be quite well oiled with even a 250 oil pump set slightly high, if you struggle find a 500 pump.

Helicoil is a common repair these days, try to get a 2nd or bottoming tap to get the thread for the Helicoil well into the body..

I would use Time sert and not helicoil. It's a better fit all together.
