is there any real disadvantage to just removing the gear from the oil pump and allowing the rod to spin rather than installing the actual block off plate?
Oil pump
- Thread starter Durby
- Start date
once the gear is removed, nothing is going to spin, and thats the purpose of removing the gear....to keep a dry pump from spinning, possibly locking up ?
IMO...there is no advantage of either method...just removing the gear and leaving the pump to block it off, or using a plate, homemade or bought, to block it off.
both accomplish the same thing.
