Ernest,
While you have the oil pump drive exposed it would be a good idea to assure
that the nut that holds the drive sprocket on the pump has the locking washer
installed properly.
Mine did not, and it only took about 8 hours of run time for the sprocket to fall off
and chew a hole in the cover.

I did that tonight, Jim. I combined parts from another 6-port to get
the tolerances well under the spec. Picked the best washer and assured
that everything is as tight as possible. Here's what it is looking like
so far. I've scaled each of these down to fit in the email limit, but
larger versions are on my website (which I just got up again).
