I didn’t see it at all which bike, yr model, mileage etc in the op. I am thinking nerd & misfit kinda know each other.....

Haha. No I don't know him but I do know s&s doesn't make a pump hvhp for a Twincam. And a Twincam doesn't use a shaft to drive the oil pump or a key to hold it in place.

It uses the crankshaft which is more or less keyed to the pump gears via flats. But I see where the confusion lies when he mentioned a “supplied key” At any rate I know exactly didley about evos lol so good catch. I’m happy the op is back in business.

Pack the pump with chassis grease when you put it together. It'll prime itself, even years later.
