I'm planning my next build and am trying to decide on oil pump and cam plate. My choices are S&S and Feuling. S&S offers pump only and Feuling has pump and plate together. Is anyone familiar with differences between the two products?

 

go with S&S,the fueling stuff is basicly billitet oem parts

 

Thank you Kirby,

I have PM'd you regarding a build plan. Looking forward to looking Forward !

 

Interesting, I was just on their site the other day checking out products for a future build. Thanks for the info

 

And on the flip side of it, absolutely nothing wrong with the OEM pump/plate.
That is what we use in our Dyna shop mule test bike.

I would think that vibration from runout would not be stabilized. Instead it would be transmitted to a different area causing stress failure elsewhere. This is assuming the failure was at the cam plate. Think of drilling something with a wobbly bit. If you grab the drill with your off hand to try to stabilize it, that hand and arm start to shake. If you kept it up, you might end up with a sore shoulder.

I just can't believe what is being considered acceptable crankshaft runout in the service manual. I'm also rethinking the oil pump campmate option. Thinking of staying OEM.

 

like scott said,nothing at all wrong with a OEM plate and a billit plate will not stabilize or help keep a crank from moving,the only thing that will add stability to the FW is a Timken conversion

 

With that much run-out, a stronger plate won't help. They start to move on the case.
