<< Hi Lynn,
 You said that if the shaft for the oil metering pump is removed, the
 pressure oil feed gallery has to be plugged. To do that we must remove the
 front housing. How about if we still have the shaft, can we just pushed in
 from the outside (with gear removed) through the shaft opening? Or just an
 aluminum rod with tight fit to fill the shaft hole?
 I don't have an extra front housing to look at, so I'm just guessing.

Yes. I have not done that mod in years. I think you have to make sure the
cover plate and gasket can sit flat on the boss.
