Re: Oil pump conversion
MrBaging, I converted my 53 to a later alum. pump. The best directions is in the Easyriders tech book for early models. I did drill my case as they showed and also take some time to look at pump to case oil passage alignment. I matched mine up and opened the gasket to match these holes. Its not for everybody, but I do believe it makes a difference. I went to the lighter oil and very seldom went under 20# oil pressure this summer. Ed
