RE: oil pump alignment tool
No dawg, It's something I'll be doing next month when I get home from this job I'm on now. I just wanted to have all the parts and tools ready when the time comes. No big rush. Thanks for asking Dan

One other option is to email me and let me capture your email address and I will attach the file to an email to you. You will need adobe reader to view it. Free downloads for the reader are on the net.

RE: oil pump alignment tool
Thanks to all of you, for all your help. I hope I didn't offend anyone, I just want to have everything I need to do the job right the first time. Next question will be , Which brand of adjustable push rods is better or best bang for the buck. thanks again, Dan

With out the tapered tools you install all 4 oil pump bolts, very lightly seat them rotate the motor, trans in 5th or 6th depending on yr,spark plugs out, 2 or 3 times, snug bolts a little more, turn motor 2 or 3 times, tighten more, turn more, tighten more, until you get tofinal tq.

The best bang for the buck is the Harley Screaming Eagle kit. It comes with the pushrods, shorter tubes, longer clips and the o-rings. It is best to bore out the pushrod tubes to .610 so the oversize adjustable pushrods won't rub.
The new S/E tapered pushrod should clear without boring the tubes, but they cost more and don't come as a kit.

RE: oil pump alignment tool
Most of the clearance problems is at the top where the shoulder is formed to seal the o-ring at the head. An inside collar results reducing the inside diameter. Removing the collar may be all that is necessary and that could be done with a die grinder. Just match the major diameter.
