Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine application, pump style, and pickup tube diameter before installation. Confirm that the mounting pattern and drive arrangement match the original component. Because this pump does not include a gasket or seal, those items must be sourced separately if required for the job. Always prime the oiling system and check pressure after installation.
