Djl, I see the o-ring you're talking about. The SE pp wouldn't work even if it did have an o-ring because the oval port lines up over an unmachined part of the plate casting.

Exactly. As I said, that pump is designed to work with the '07 up cam plate.

For now I'm going back with the original plate and pump. I can upgrade to the newer plate on the next inspection. By then I might be able to afford new cams and a tuner. Thanks for trying to help. I missed your post.
