Melling pump cover bolt torque

I never put a used or coated pump in a motor. If its wore that bad that it needs coating get a new one. Where do you think that coating ends up as it comes off. I get 60-80 PSI cold with a new pump and a fresh build. You all want to coat the inside of a pump and send it through the motor go right ahead. Not me I will stick to the new pump. When an oil pump comes out it never goes back in my motor. I don't care how long its been in there.

My $30,000 motor and a coated used pump is what does not make sense to me. Oh and lets scrape some of that coating off so the pump turns. What a joke. get real LOL

Guys like you set the hobby back decades. Technology comes from the top down. You evidently know little about coatings and what they are for.

Stay in the 1970's. Sounds like it's where you belong. And make sure you use 1970's shocks, tires, cams, carbs, converters, clutches...the whole of it because time never moves on.


What is being done now was considered impossible just 25 years ago. That's ONE generation. If I said 25 years ago guys would be running .750 lift on street cars they would have 5150'd me and I still be in a runner room.


Sounds like YOU need to get real and open your thought process. Don't forget stud mounted rockers. That was all the **** back then. Rediculous.
